Love Hurts Poems | Examples of Love Hurts Poetry

Recently, I have felt awfully starved. I look around to see everyone filled  to the brim with love. The aroma of romance makes me want  to lose my mind. I'm happy my friends are well fed. They deserve it. Served on a silver plate, a plentiful diet. One that will keep them full forever. But me on the other hand? My teeth have gone soft, and my...

When mother asked me what I dreamed of becoming, I never thought I’d say: an astronomer. But here I am: hair undone, in a wine-blotched slip tracking you, the moon around my earth. I didn’t plan on this, but I know I’m doomed to be fascinated by how the nebula behind you quietly blossoms— It ignites your hair, which I’ve imagined to be velvet against my fingers. I...

You take joy in seeing my heart bleed, Because of your avarice and greed. The pains you caused come with no reprieve, Yet you’ve the audacity to leave. I invested every ounce in you, Your ponderings control all I do. My bitter cries you heedlessly sought, Yet you’re blind to the hatred you brought. How can your mind ever be at peace, When the...

My heart sings as I walk on springs, With foothold on the sun, unburned. Your love fills my heart, my soul, My whole being. I swim in love – I fly without wings. Joy clings to my feet, Gratitude fills my mouth. So I sing, I dance in the air, My claps echo with harmony. Happiness knows no rival Since you arrived with your love. Your touch...

My hand longs to hold yours once more My arms mourn the loss of your embrace My lips wait to kiss those they adore My mind plays images of your face My stomach lacks the butterflies That once ran rampant with you It's something with goodbyes They will do that to you Ever part of me knows something is gone I know you're far...

I bring you to a place Where between us Is time and space So far away Though I wish it not And always ahead a day This place is loud It's thunder claps It's screams in a crowd It's violent and bold It's waves crashing It's fire taking hold It's quiet and shape It's a dagger and a blade It's haunting notes on a harp It's thoughts screaming It's silence deafening It's...

The job is done Bruises and broken bones He will live to see another day "Just end him already" chants the crowd F*cking psychopaths Poor guy got what he deserved Lucky him I made up my mind already How sick you have got to be To yell like that for a blood bath He made his mistakes like everyone else And yet, people act like...

Letting go was never an option I walk between two worlds giving pieces of myself to both, without knowing which one holds the real me/ With a burning heart, I swim in ice a fire pulled in two directions a love stretched thin yet somehow whole. One heart, one soul but two names echo inside me and strangely each feels complete./ Some days I feel lost not in absence but...

I can't watch you leave I could feel the moment, that you were letting go... knowing you... as well as I do. I see the sadness, as it invades your face, but... I never thought you'd walk away Scattered thoughts before my eyes appear, now I believe leaving me, has been the plan all along. The world keeps turning slowly, but...

The only child but favorite of two ‘outlaws’ mare and stud He bucked each gelded moment on their wild ride of love Until that day he up and left their branding iron of pain To wander high and lonesome mongst the free and tumbling sage In search of one last bronc to mount that one last horn to make And spur the wreckage of his youth as Angels — pull the Gate (Pendleton Round-Up:...

She does not love you. She loves what you give her— And when that gift fades, so too does her affection. The modern man, deluded by poets and preachers, Believes that love is salvation. No— Love is slavery wrapped in perfume. She smiles when you provide, Cries when you delay, Withholds warmth to bend your spine. And you— Grateful for her cold embrace— Call it passion. You sign...

We’re not dating— but you heart-react to my stories like it’s a full-time job, send a “you up?” at 12:47 a.m. then disappear like my willpower at a shoe sale. You say you don’t do drama— but you’ve got more red flags than a Formula 1 race and the emotional depth of a spoon. You post gym selfies with deep quotes like “loyalty is...

I never stopped loving you That’s why I hate you I really really love you I really really hate you I don’t really hate you That’s how I know it’s love The only thing I hate Is I’m not who you’re thinking of I hate that I love you When you don’t love me back Or take into consideration My dark and ugly past I know that...

The Truth The way I feel For years our love was a thought No true nor false Lies the whole time Love wasn’t there You cheated everywhere We had two different storms Your rage was Thunder My understanding was flashes of lightning Kingdom that came alive I was used a puppet only stringing along My love was true and committed You on the other hand was looking for...

In the beginning, he was a dream, A perfect blend, or so it seemed. With every wish, he’d swoop and save, A knight in shining armor, oh so brave. “Where have you been?” I’d sigh and swoon, As he’d conjure up my heart’s cartoon. A band-aid for a paper...
