Heartbroken Poems | Examples of Heartbroken Poetry

Once in a lifetime that special person comes along Being with them reminds you of a long-lost song A friendship grows and the bond is strong Then something happens and you do them wrong They give you a chance to make things right You do your best, you last a few nights Yet once again you prove you ain’t so bright What...

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...

Handyman Can't compete with someone who... Is already waiting at your door. Already he is back with you... And you've moved on again once more. Heart breaking to believe that we... Had almost reached a place of trust. To only just the next day see... Once again there is no us. Handyman is at your door... And ready with his tools... I guess you need repaired...

Mother’s Day feels like a joke with no punchline, like the kind of card you don’t buy because you’d have to lie in cursive. I stare at the shelves lined with pastel lies, the soft-scripted thank yous, and the you’ve always been there's. I want to scream at the cardboard. Always been there? Where? In...

You are a memory A reminder of a time that once meant something to me When it all ended, I thought I would be okay, but this time was different The pain creeped into my heart in an instant Wanted to rip the beating organ out of my body While crying to myself and whispering that I was sorry I was...

Did I ever forget you? I am destined to remember Those days we spent together Are always on my mind The ache remains ,losing you hurts There have been several others Whose presence masked the pain Parting was never sweet sorrow Opening up those wounds again Still living in my heart Will we ever meet again To renew our yearning love? Or have you met another Who now...

I have been in unequaled turmoil, Overused in my personal trauma, Drowning in tear rivers of tragedy, Soul dipping southward trajectory, But they do not seep from these eyes, Nor do they follow the cries, Just the heavy emptiness that thrives, Within each breath hope in me dies, But then there are those who remind me, Why I have walked the road of words...

In the quiet of the night When the sun decides to save its light for someone worthy When the stars twinkle in its wake When the moon chases after her lover I used to pray But not with the whispered devotion of a Sister No my prayers stirred something ugly in me Something that festered slowly And ripped Something raw and heavy from...

Every time I try to get around you I end up strangled in lies of tungsten memories. You're like the seal I can't break, The song I can't take, The bonds I long to make. You stole the ground from underneath my feet, And the heart that kept them standing. What kind of a gift would a heart be if it's not...

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. ...

Build me a sandcastle of drifting dream, just to scatter every particle in the wind... Lay me under the burden of brokenness, until the shore gives in to a new dream. ~Ayesh...

Another poster of a child holding her lost pet. When I see them, man, the sinking feeling that I get. Why can't pets just learn to stay at home? Why are they always dying to go roam? I haven't seen or heard of one happy ending yet. Bonus "lost pet" poem This is not why I did love you ~ and learned...

Our childhood home in old Monroe Is now home to someone I do not know I knocked once but was left standing Alone and waiting on the patio Like when we waited for Dad many years ago My family sold it when they up and moved away Under some spell or hopeful for a change Sometimes people...

I think of her, I breathe her, when I sleep I dream of her, when I wake I live for her. I think of her… Her happiness, her well being, consumes my thoughts all day and into the night. How to support her and make her feel safe. How to give her a smile instead of a frown. How to...

Like a bloodstain she refuses to be cleaned off my memory Nightmares are the only time I see her Lost thoughts the only time I hear her A siren in the city singing a song a longing Pulling overboard the ship I thought I had made I am no adonis I am no odysseus To be in the legends of fables...
