Past Love Poems - Poems about Past Love

Fear Of Moving On

My fear is standing next to my set future,  
While my heart’s stuck deep in the past.  
Still wandering lost in a love that’s gone,  
Caught between what was and what’s to come.  

Waking up every day, forever holding your peace, walking through the hours lost in your dreams.  
Lying

A Better Man

Am I a better man today
Than yesterday? Who knows
Outwardly nobody can say
Inwardly there I was..
I was, this pretty much describes
Me in the present tense
I’m living in the past that dies
Within a plot I sense
It saves a better life for us
That’s where I belong
Isn't in something you may trust
Apart of life that's gone
Those days with darling

Fragments

I saw you lift the glass, 
While I sat still in the class, 
Staring out at the grass, 
As Julius Lilos walked past, 
Lost in thoughts of mass, 
And echoes of the past, 
That I can't quite surpass, 
Bounded by shadows cast, 
Leaving me gasping fast, 
Shattered, like broken glass.

Looking for past love

Looking for your summer

The spring of you turned into a winter from you; of you, frozen soul with love following you
Going through a painful life, after you, hmm, after of you, end of summer go. Love(s) you

Autumn-colored October leaves my unreceived letters; you are just walking and trapping
On my love lines, love words read off

I’m not enough

Tell me why my first instinct is to reminisce,
To stare at photos filled with memories of bliss.
Each scroll weighs heavy, burdened by truth,
Moments captured, now lost in youth.

I wonder where I fell short?
I thought you liked the way I tasted,
The way I called out your name?
You said my smile was your uttermost favorite,
So I tried

Im In Your Classroom Now

i’m in your classroom now

it’s still not mine.
at least not in my head
and i won’t lie and tell you i didn’t think about you every 5 minutes.
you are a year older 
and now i’m living everything you went through last year,
and it is terrifying.

you know, i told you i’d never smoke again
and now i am

Ja 'Quelle

When the lights go off
When curtains are drawn  
When stillness settles here
    
 I lie thinking 
        
 It is you swirling in me like feathers in soft winds or letters over an ocean
  
 Like a little girl swings in spring time

My Past Love

My late wife has told me; 
It was so easy to fall in love with me?

My late love; I saw a glimpse, 
And thought
She was a shiny thing!

My late love was shown my scars, 
When suddenly
It was easy to leave.

My late love taught me; 
Her desire was being left behind! 

What if this amazement of

Emerald Isle

Emerald Isle.  ( song )
.
One ... day I will return to the emerald isle
That I ..love
Where I was born
And my heart belongs
To chase the pretty girls again
And listen to the old
...folk songs……..
.
For although I be a travelling man
And my feet cannot stay still...
So I roam…,,,
I’ve yet to find
A better place
My heart can find a

Life As I Sip My French Viognier

Life as I Sip My French Viognier

With an Indy Blues melody softly playing behind me, 
I relax on my outdoor couch, tired legs stretched out, 
After a brutal uphill hike earlier this windy day.
A cold glass of french viognier at my lips,
As I sip slowly, listening to the myriad bird calls.

Yes, retirement certainly agrees with

Unraveled

I've been waiting for you for quite a while
Though when you resurfaced I was unable to smile

I was tangled up in a web of lies
with the one I needed to say goodbye

His grip was strong as he held me tight
Blinding me; I could not see your light

The day arrived when I came to my senses
Letting

Past Love Letters

How many lovers
Pen in hand
Sat on this park bench
Inspired by the kiss of this same sun
Enjoying a breathtaking moment
In spite of their heavy heart
Writing a love letter to their beloved
Separated for any number of reasons
Obligation, tragedy or even war

When I close my eyes
I could be in any era
Today we email, tweet or text
But back when

Past Love

Reclaim a past love

find out what you've been missing

I am now happy

Past Love

Why can't you love me when I love you?
Why couldn't you be there for me when I needed you?
Why couldn't you have just been okay?
Why did you cheat on me that day?
Why can't we make everything go away?
Why can't we sit along that beautiful bay?
Why on that day,
did you take our love away?
Why couldn't you

Past Love

When I see him standing there,
My heart starts to ruthlessly pounding
I decide to say a silent prayer
Asking God for His expedient blessing

Thoughts of our time together
Create pictures inside my mind
But I refuse to grow bitter
Because I know love is blind

The memories quiet my dreams
Of all that might have been with him
True love isn’t all that
