Poems About Moving on and Leaving the Past Behind

– Poems About Moving On –

Love is a dynamic and adaptable feeling. It sometimes advances and other times declines. It can be frightening, unsure, and challenging to move on from a relationship or marriage, leave behind a previous love, or pursue a new fling.

Change and new experiences may, however, also be enjoyable and a time for learning. We may advance by concentrating on the chances and experiences that lie ahead rather than wallowing in the regrets of the past.

Poems About Moving on

Every event and moment of our lives are in a state of flux, and letting go—however tough it may be—is a crucial step in that process. Here is a collection of poems about moving on.

One Day by Shaydee A. Ault

When his aunt Brandy and her partner split up, he wrote her this poem. He composed it because it affected her and touched a place in her heart.

One day you’re gonna see her,
But she won’t be looking at you.
One day you’ll feel like she did,
And you won’t know what to do.

One day you’re gonna love her,
But she won’t feel the same.
One day you’ll know how it feels
To have your blue skies turn to rain.

One day you’ll dream of only her,
But she’ll be dreaming of someone else.
One day she’ll feel as if she’s in heaven,
And you’ll be feeling as if you’re in hell.

One day you’re gonna cry for her
The way she did for you.
One day you’re going to miss her,
But she’ll be loving someone new.

Carry on by Briana D. Washington

I don’t hate you,
Because I still love you.
I can’t look at you,
Because it hurts too.

We don’t talk,
Because there is nothing left to say.
You apologized,
But I just walked away.

I’m leaving you and the thought of you behind,
Because I just need to clear my mind.
I’m angered because you wasted my time,
Hurt because I believed you were mine,
But I just didn’t see the signs.

I guess that’s why they say love is blind,
Because you got my heart caught in binds.
Look me in my eyes,
And listen as my heart cries,
Cries out in pain.

This feeling makes me feel like I’m covered in flames,
Until ashes are all that remain.
Thought you were different,
But you’re all the same.

Thought this was real,
But it was all a game.
I gave you my love,
And you gave it away.

That’s why my heart is blue
And my skies are gray.
Will I ever see the light of day?
Will this dark cloud ever go away?
Or will it follow me for my remaining days?
Grasp all my joy and strip it away?

NO! I am too bold.
Way too bold to be stuck in the cold.
I am way too strong not to carry on.

Let Go by Shelby T. Parsons

What do I do,
When I’m still in love with you?
You walked away,
‘Cause you didn’t want to stay.
You broke my heart, you tore me apart.
Every day I wait for you,
Telling myself our love was true.
But when you don’t show, more tears start to flow.
That’s when I know
I have to let go.

Ode to Love by Beryl L. Edmonds

When his aunt Brandy and her partner split up, he wrote her this poem. He composed it because it affected her and touched a place in her heart.

To everything there’s a time and season
Time to laugh and to weep for good reason.
A season for living, to find true love
And a time to dance with angels above…

Holder of my heart, vision of my dreams,
The way you walked, talked and those eyes that gleamed,
Invading my thoughts by day and by night.
Darling, you inspire my bleak soul to write.

Let me compare thee to an April day.
Showers of rain that bring forth buds of May,
Shining like the sun beams down now and then
Making earth become beautiful again.

How do I love thee? I’ll tell you the ways.
Whispered sweet nothings that raised up my days,
Being wrapped in your arms, magic we’ve shared.
Each precious moment you handled with care.

To heaven and back, a very long time.
Time will never erase you from my mind.
The memories made, I keep as a gift
Tied up with ribbons and sealed with a kiss.

Sweetheart, you’ll always be my shining star.
Bright light of my life, where’re thou art?
Tho’ I go on with deep pain in my heart.
Remember these words whilst we are apart.

I miss you whilst you are out of my sight.
I miss you now that you’re out of my life.

Time for Me by Kerri L. Copeland

He created this poem as a response to a protracted relationship that was always one-sided and the realization that he was evolving into someone he didn’t like or recognize.

Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don’t care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.

I just have to walk.
To talk just won’t do.
It was never enough
To get through to you.

So, always remember
That you pushed me away.
Now, you have no right
To ask me to stay.

No flowers, or diamonds,
No declarations of heart,
No begging, no pleading,
And no fresh start.

You have sealed your fate
With your selfish demands.
You will never change
Or wash the blood off your hands.

This is My Strength by Lauren Bowman

When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.
This is how I know I’ll survive.
I cried as I erased you,
but I erased you anyway.
I wished you back,
but I still opened my hands
and let you go.

My Love by Emily L. Webber

Because he believed I deserved more than him, my boyfriend and I broke up. I wrote him a goodbye poem even if my heart is torn since I can’t hate him for anything.

You make me laugh and smile
when I need a cry, even if it’s only for a little while.

You make me happy when I am sad,
even when I’m really mad.

You take the weight off my shoulders and the worry from my mind;
you really are one of a kind.

You came into my life and turned it around,
and with that, our love was found.

I’ll always love you through the bad times and the good,
even when you eat my food.

You picked me up when I was down,
when no one else was around.

You helped me grow and find who I am,
And for that, you are a better man.

Now it’s time for us to part ways,
Live our lives and welcome in the good days.

I’ll always miss you, and you’ll always have my heart.
With all my love, your sweetheart.
