Heartbreak Poems | Examples of Heartbreak Poetry

Splitting open the rough rocky ledge of my garden, a sapling grows at the edge of the broken pathway. A lone bud blooms unnoticed with the color of spring within my heart with the alluring fervor of florid love. You waft past me on the wings of zooming zephyr, blowing a sensuous storm of passion...

I know I shouldn’t listen to the sad songs because it makes me think of you but it hits home too Some days are tougher then others I begged to be sent another but yet what would that do ? Would me rebounding with someone else get me over you? I just want my mind clear of you Any...

You whispered love, and I believed, But in your words, I was deceived. I gave my heart, laid it down, Only to watch you let it drown. I thought you cared, I thought you’d stay, But in the end, you turned away. You smiled sweet, but it was a mask, Hiding the truth you never said. The promises you made felt real, But now...

You found the door - The door which protected my worst nightmares I didn't know existed, and sheltered the basic needs my heart shunned but never new it pined for - Tell me you didn't You found the key that unlocked the spring to my eternal winter, the warmth to an endless frigid existence, the glow within my ceaseless, hopeless night, the feast no...

In the garden, penumbra deep, A heart so heavy, it could not sleep. Betrayed by those He came to save, A love so pure, it could not cave. Upon the cross, His arms spread wide, In our place, crucified. The nails of heartbreak held Him there, A burden of sorrow, too great for us to bear. For every tear, for every sin, He bore...

Two hearts once beat as one in time.. Their voices sang a perfect rhyme. Each thought, each breath, a mirrored tune.. They danced beneath the silver moon. But she, in love’s unsteady hand.. Had strayed and broken what was planned. A choice she made, a wound so deep.. That left him standing, torn and steeped. ...

I gave you everything I had All of me I held nothing back I believed You were a man of integrity But you were less than honest You broke every single promise You made me. I've lost all sense I just can't perceive How you could use me And just leave I'm blind to the sight Of your face I'm numb to the feel Of your embrace I try to breathe...

I visit the Museum of the Past in my memory. Still life paintings I stroll through, lazily, my hands clasped behind my back. There, the glass you drank from, still holds the print of your bottom lip. I break the rules and pick it up. I fit my mouth where...

A year of friendship, Destroyed in a single day, My heart is breaking as you drive away. Every memory of us comes rushing back to me, But something is different about them, They’re all full of sadness. My heart beats faster every minute, Longing for more oxygen, To replace the air lost as I hyperventilate. I can’t hear anything, Except for the sound of my...

As i bask in her glory, her sunlight reigns, Her smile i cherish, her love still remains. A spark ignites every room with your grace, A symphony played in the softest embrace. Your brilliance, a beacon, illuminating bright, Whispers of wisdom taking flight in the night, Behind those deep eyes, a universe...

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew Anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue Flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on true But beauty cannot shield...

In the dead of night, her prince reveals his true form, A wolf in sheep's clothing, his heart as cold as ice, She's trapped in a nightmare, no fairy godmother in sight, Her glass slippers shattered, her dreams left to freeze Her heart, once on her sleeve, now lies frozen and alone, Shattered like the glass that once adorned her...

Am I in love? How am i to know She is my dove Purer than snow Sent from above Not long ago With push and shove Her tears overflow I wish I could be better I’d give her my life I hate to upset her Id make her my wife I go back where I met her Along my thigh, a knife I shall never forget her As I end...

I'm still here I stepped into the shadows I haven’t gone away I didn’t want others to see the face of sorrows I’m still here It was so much easier than I could convey I just didn’t have the words But I’m still here The pain was too much to bear I took time to sit and watch the birds I had to let my...
