Heartbreak Poems | Examples of Heartbreak Poetry

When wanderlust started pounding my heart On a beautiful autumn afternoon, crisp and sunny I set out on a trek to the nearby woods The leaves on trees had begun turning ruddy All along, I saw ripening fruits on trees and wild herbs And paused to take pictures, but kept moving No doubt, it was a rewarding experience The lure of the...

Heart break. It’s not just a feeling, it mentally messes you up. Heartbreak is so strong, it’s like a pain in your chest that won’t go away, it’s like you can physically feel your heart splitting in two. I wish I didn’t know how it felt to have your heart broken but unfortunately I do so...

I crawled through years where night fell fast, where dawn was a rumor, faint and far. Each day was a climb up a crumbling wall, every step swallowed in shadows, and the weight of the world bore down, pressed hard— its whispers sharp, relentless. Hope would come, a flicker, then fade, a candle swallowed by each unkind wind. I’d chase it like breath,...

You were there when I needed you the most, just for you to disappear into the night like a vengeful ghost. The texts you sent broke my heart, cause deep down I never wanted us to part. My biggest Fear, was for you to disappear, and for you to pass from sight like fire in the snow. I...

Infinite world, my only escape. Infinite world, the life I hate. My hand is cramping as I write. But I don’t care. I still fight. The lead is scraping paper thin, Slicing air with every spin. Infinite world, my one place. Infinite world, my only safe space. My pencil was once unused, Unmarked, clean, and unbruised. My hand was once unsure, Quiet, soft, and insecure. Not that...

In you, I lost. I lost a lot. Somehow, in you, I lost you. I lost my virtue, my dignity, my sense of self. I lost everything I ever knew. My feelings were absent. My heart melted into oblivion. My smile vanished. The lights went out on my world. Everything was dark and gray. It...

“Who is it about?” You. It’s always been you. For months. Worth more than gold, weighing less than mud are my thoughts. Months of downplaying, cast aside, thrown to the pigs. You. It always came back to you. With your silky hair, long and dark. Soft to the touch, like one would imagine a cloud's. Your...

Good to you, good for you, good with you… All things I’ve always dreamt of being. But also all things I never will be. You need more than this… more than me. I stare at my ceiling and wonder what it could be… what WE could be. Nothing. I know that’s the real answer… Yet,...

I ruined what we had With my mincing words misplaced, Words that made you mad With a feeling as though also disgraced. I ruined what we were With things in which we never concurred, Things I was just unsure Of whether it is my path that has occurred. I ruined our bond With feelings long suppressed, Feelings as shallow as a pond, In which I drowned...

My darkest needs never beg forgiveness— they crave a mirror. One that fogs with your touch, not your abandon. ...

Form: Englyn Unodl Union I touched a shadow and called it a flame, It smiled — but was the same. My scars whispered his name. Love left, but I still came. ...

There are days the sun drags itself across the sky like a wounded thing, and I follow behind it, meek as a shadow no one asked for. My feet walk the same road to the mailbox, rocky and too long, and still I walk it. Beside me, the hemlock grows. Tall and soft, almost beautiful. It does not beckon. It does not need...

Once upon a dreary time A boy set out to note a rhyme Pen in hand with paper lined Prepared he was to share his mind But thoughts lay barren and confined Without sense, reason, or rhyme Suffered he did this weary time Both his soul and cheerless mind His eyes grew dark, his face grew lined And tho he sought to redesign Something, anything...

I heard you were gone from someone who didn’t know what you once meant to me. They said it flat, like it was weather. “He passed last week.” And suddenly, the air changed. I didn’t ask for details. I just drove. Quiet. Alone. Like we always said we never would be. At the service, they spoke of your laugh. Your stubbornness. The way you always showed up for people. And I smiled, because...

I saw you before you saw me. Still walk the same. Still carry the world like it owes you something. And just like that— a flood of years came rushing through a single glance. We hugged. God, that hug. Longer than polite, shorter than what I needed. We sat, coffee between us like a buffer, but your eyes still knew too much. You made me laugh. Too easily. Like my body remembered what...
