A hole in my heart
There is no death with this pain
Life with no living
The stomach cramps with sorrow
Hope lost with only darkness
Edward J Ebbs
Written for a Contest, "Relationship Breakups"
Right at our front door
Time awaits we both have dread
Severing our kindred ways
I beg you wind please
Don't blow fond memories my way
Parting time has come

Relationship Breakups
bumper to bumper push
potholes detours red lights
rearview mirror past flash
regrets breakups foul-ups
windshield view onward, veiled
stressful blurry fearful

Edna gave advice to the love lost and lovelorn on the radio.
Her show was popular, but it would be the last place I would go.
Her breakups were many, her sour dour ways were no better.
I was thinking of sending this silly station an anonymous letter.
There should be clearer signs,
as a relationship starts to break up
- the hiss of steam, a twist of smoke perhaps
or debris distributed across a hot,
cloudless, summer evening sky.
That way, the force of recognition
wouldn’t be so much of a slap.
I once thought you were powerful
Elusive
As smart and as quick as Dracula himself
You kept me with your gaze
And your wanton touch
Shiny things a little at a time
kept me like a worm on a hook
But after awhile I saw the truth
You are no vampire
You are a mosquito
On this merry-go-round
Of breakups and breakdowns
Singing the blues
In our ding-a-ling shoes
We take our heartache's milkshakes
Spiked with itty-bitty pity
Before we tangle and wrangle
In the rebound playground.

Poem of the Day
April 18, 2020
You left me breaking and bleeding,
The shards of my porcelain heart
Are nothing but shattered
Remains of what they used to Be.
Useless.
You left me to pick up
The left overs of
What we might have had
Or what I felt for you
But of course
It meant nothing.

"relationship breakups"
Listen to poem:
Dark crown positions an imminent moon,
while the car benign a simple swan tune,
by a male world-renowned steady croon,
quaffs from a sweetheart, abrupt swoon,
as twain souls dissolution, way too soon,
while a solo spirit on, strangely immune,
limits another whose heart is now hewn,
of an unsalted berry to a strained prune.

A pool is perfect,
Splashing,
Tanning,
Writing,
Reading,
Baking in the sun,
Floating,
Drifting away,
Daydreaming,
Until you realize.
Your in a place far away,
Although the pool
Can be horrid
Breakups,
Shouts,
Fighting,
But most of all,
It’s usually calm and happy
Music blasting,
Children laughing,
Water drifting in the air
And you are relaxed.
Form:
Flowers
can be used
for anything
Love
Breakups
Marriages
Death
A laugh alone
a smile with friends
Anything.
But if I had
a choice
I would prefer
you giving me
flowers while
I'm alive
and able to
enjoy their beauty
I want to be able
to see them,
to smile
I would rather
I have joy alive
Than for you
to lay roses
on my grave
I am a romantic person
I breathe, love
Penetrate to the depths
I don't know how to go
On the floor just a little
I'm like that in business
In relationships
In breakups and forgiveness.
I am a romantic person
If my life doesn't feel
Like a fairy tale
I throw the spears into my soul
Tearing them apart
Because it is not me
Not about me
Not with me.
all the signs were there
I preferred to ignore them
it became overt
your actions were deafening
so much louder than your words
tears are all that’s left
of our once sweltering love
I had faith in us
in love that connected us
then I saw you in her arms

(a simple breakup, in Senryus)
I said I’m “fine,” which
was absolutely true - just
not where he’s concerned.
Our story ended,
a cancelled series without
lesson or climax.
I was proud of us,
we ended things maturely,
no one told the truth
He wasn’t in my
life but somehow he never
left my contact list
.
.
A song for this:
Only the lonely by the Motels
he was not my type
but by the time it was spring
i wore that man's ring
once he wore me down
i flowered in the garden
of his sweet attentiveness
but began to droop
in the absence of his care. . . .
July’s drought was hard to bear
that ring he gave me -
cheap like his lackluster love -
broke in mid-august

Relationship Breakups Poetry Contest
Look for love in your heart
I'm leaving you with:
Someday you will recognize
Some breakups are doomed.
Today I can be an unfulfilled poet
Snoring and heartlessness
alike star at night
without its dense knots
Even if it is a short iteration,
bouncing over time and space
It will only be a matter of perception
to see and be seen
To appear to be bluntly clear.

Ex lovebirds of
the tamest passion can turn
so predatory.
Passive aggressive
schoolboys who mock whistle at
ex-girlfriends for spite.
Who scatter book bag
contents in mock accidents
for supposed revenge.
As witchcraft conjured
by the nonbelligerent
to silence the bully
I summon some sweet,
musical, lascivious
words as orphic spells
In self-effacing
defense to tame the awful
beast with dirty magic.
In the dark lonely night, you stayed
With different words,I said
Whoever angered me, was slayed
All these love and joy, it paid
By thoughts of breakups
Which gave me hiccups
You shouted for lookouts
In the end love standouts
She took me for a fool
Thinking our love deep as a pool
Would quickly shrink
In the eye's blink
Roamed around aimlessly
Tortured mercilessly
Even though we separate
But love was our fate
EVERY ETHEREE
Two
Not one
Never Three
Just a couple
Not a family
Allowing enough time
To explore if love is real
And despite what people may say
It can be an ever growing thing
You can then count to ten and back again
But sometimes it can be a lesson learned
A painful experience for some
As breakups are more common now
Yet there will always be hope
That next time it may work
And not left alone
Sad and lonely
Just waiting
For the
One
Just smiling, shining & indivisible,
All at the broader punch!
Alone approached the dependable,
Before-head a worst crunch.
My heart heading innocent,
Gave-up myself, my soul.
Wasn’t sure of the pretend,
To her, just in a joule!
She went, her shadows too,
Broke my heart in a bitter truth.
Cracked the confidence inside a blow,
I am at North, she’s at South!
You certainly would have,
What I had been living,
Yet, you will have,
What I am having!
