Best Heartache Poems

Maples shed their trembling leaves, 
the scorch of daylight dies and evening drips 
in pools of reddish hue as I bereave the absence 
of my heart's desire with saddened, love-lorn lips.

Happiness, a blessing never to be felt again,
slipping from my memory, as distant as the...

Young and naive from a distance her heart leaped to its highest peak
On his terrace he'd sit lips utter words if the pages could speak
Her eyes showed ruby red as held flooding tears, so very weak 
Quiet and steady she kept silent cries to touch...

I was drawn to her in temporal depth of night,
glancing her way in beams of harvested light
But in mourning her, I wept behind shrouds,
concealed by a hovering bank of sullen clouds

She'd danced for me in a green ruffled gown
Her supple skin changed to russet then...

Chilly the pride shredding me torn.
In soft grass I lay odd pieces
of my new wound, bloody from scorn
and wrath as pushed in my creases. 

I sent harmony into flight
to secure love’s peaceful, prime feel,
but rage launched and eclipsed my light.
My heartache carved deep its reveal....

Between happiness and heartache
We search for higher ground
As we travel the peaks and valleys
Trying to save the love we've found

Build bridges over troubled waters
Carelessly burning a few
Following our map of dreams
Rest on ridges to enjoy the view

We try to avoid the slippery slopes
But occasionally roll...

My heart has been broken, shattered like glass
My soul misguided, led from its path
Each new lesson becomes harder to learn
Love is a flame of fire, stand too close, and you’ll get burned
The doors that free me, emotionally, they remain closed
You can find me in the...

On a voyage of heartache, through one window I see,
the fading sun dancing on waters so deep.
Mile be mile, my destination is clear,
in my heart, I wonder if I am sailing on tears.
The only sound to be heard are the lonely filled waves,
lost voices of...

The shell of my heart has been broken, shattered like glass
My soul misguided, manipulated from it's path
     Each new lesson becomes so much harder to learn
Love is a Flame of Fire, stand too close and you'll get burned

Tell me why doe’s the wind blow,
When it seems that almost anything can over power this boat,
The waves rise slowly and surely a storm is on its way,
A day of innocence equating beauty,
For tomorrow may fall,
And today is already gone,
I've decided that tonight is the...

My love can never be expressed,
My heart can never be at rest.

I long to see his beloved face.
Yet, in his life I have no place.

I did not chose the when or where
Or the lonely days that I must bear.

But treasure I this tender ache….
To give...

The tears path defines the time of sorrows end,
A time where alone has a new beginning,
The watery stain across the flesh of her cheek, 
Her strength, knowing her heart can falter,
A small breath, a tiny step, a smile,
There is path ahead to follow,
Life - an...

Each breath she takes, 
her heart aches,
Her love has left, 
she feels bereft, 
Precious lives lost, 
dreams of a happy home tossed,
Days and nights spent weeping 
without sleeping,
Alone in a throng, 
she is not strong,
Smiling behind her tears, 
whiling away her years,
With a pen and...

 Im choked up with nothing but 
tears
Humiliated 
as you bring to light all my fears.
I have so many thoughts but i cant 
seem to speak
Desperation consumes my mind 
As i search hard to find some peace
My scattered thoughts run wild
Preventing me from any sleep
So...

Now I lay me down to sleep
In my home that's really sweet
Had three large meals and a snack
There wasn't a hint of any lack
Comfortable shoes and clothes that fit
My heart's desires my money can get
Friends and family know my name
So many opportunities it's just insane
Doctors...

three incisor teeth burst through fresh flesh...
opaque as pearls, strong as love, precious 

beautiful baby babbles assertively
mesmerized by mishmash sounds 
that her astounding mouth can make
prose poetry in its practice

as canines erupt, she moans from the ache
teeter-tottering restless to repress pain 
speedily advancing in substantial...
