Sad Love Poems | Examples of Sad Love Poetry

Why can’t I exist without you? Each time I try to leave you suck me back up into your blackhole. Can’t help but love you for the way you make me feel it’s like a loop of love and I’m stuck in it, swirling around your finger and getting caught up with you once more. But I...

Today, the sadness slid in like fog— not sudden, just there. Heavy without being invited. I sit with it, ashamed, like I’ve broken something sacred by feeling low in the presence of someone so bright. She laughs like clear water, touches my hand like forgiveness— how can I ache when she exists? But the ache doesn't check who I love, only who I am. It loops. A guilt for feeling, a guilt for...

If I could go back in time, I’d go back to when I believed in soulmates the way I believe the stars in the night sky guide us to a predetermined destiny. Poorly illuminated by the moon, leaving you to seek yourself intentionally. Well, I’ve learned you can throw away fate when you make an extremist choice, deviating against that destiny. Like salmon in...

Out of my mind and lost in time Holding on to a love unkind Unwind the twine that cruelly binds Me to my severed valentine Her voice still calls through echoing halls As madness clings to crumbling walls All consumed in lingering perfume Her presence like a ghost haunting this room.

I used to think heartbreak missed girls like me, the ones who waited, who stayed soft and sure. For years I prayed, “Lord, guard this fragile heart,” believing stillness meant I’d skip the fall. Then he arrived. The first to hold my hand, the first to kiss me like it meant something. He made me feel alive in quiet ways, like maybe...

“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye ........................................................... Pure wickedness sets you apart, Meanwhile, true love you led me to assume. You purposefully broke my heart, Leaving my vases filled with wilted blooms. Yet I deter not; my heart lives to love, Through many heartbreaks, still I'm...

Beautiful eyes Tell vicious lies In the middle of a storm I’m not surprised I haven’t cried Searching for your warmth I love you But who knew You didn’t feel the same Did you love me too Or was I just new? Your favorite little game A brand new toy For you to enjoy My light died within me I fell for a boy It was me he destroyed Forever lost in...

Hang ups, I’ve got plenty of those Like a phone with too many busy signals, I couldn’t get through to you. I think the number you gave me was out of service. You said, “Dial me up” but the damn phone was a push button. I called long distance, the operator said “Put another quarter in.” Sadly I only had one thin...
