1. Title: “Never Give all the Hearts”

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream

That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,

For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?

He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

Yet in the loss, a wisdom gained,
A dance with joy, a touch of pain.
In love’s demise, a chance to see,
The heart’s resilience, wild and free.

2. Title: “Break Up”

Love, a garment woven deep,
From creation’s secrets it seeps.
Yet when seasons tear it apart,
Days of joy replaced by heart.

Crumbling, like a bombed wall,
We fall, breaking, as seasons call.
Could I un-speak what’s been said,
Change the street where paths have tread?

Faith reaches with clumsy hands,
Springing forward where love stands.
To catch you leaving, I strive,
Yet you take flight on wings to survive.

Rooted, I stand, unable to speak,
Words in my eyes, tears on my cheek.
A storm rises, emotions collide,
Yet through tears, sunlight decides.

3. Title: “Grasp why you broke my heart, though I didn’t”

Someday you’ll miss me, as I missed you,
Cry for me, like I cried for you.
Want me back, as I wanted you,
Grasp why you broke my heart, though I didn’t.

You’ll realize the mess I endured,
Feel the pain, see how I was injured.
Life turning upside down, a broken art,
As mine did when you shattered my heart.

Someday, someone will hurt you, too,
You’ll grasp how loneliness can accrue.
Reflect on what I meant to you,
When you meant the world to me, it’s true.

You’ll know my feelings, someday soon,
Try to come back, like I did in the gloom.
But someday, love will be overdue,
For you, while I’ve moved on anew.

4. Title: “I Tried So Hard”

I tried so hard, gave my best,
Offered my all, left with emptiness.
You stole my heart, tore it in two,
Now I’m falling, lost and confused.

Decisions divide, burned by the fire,
Confused words, fueled by desire.
Living in the present, my mind in the past,
Uncertain what will fade, what will last.

Blinded by fear, drowning in doubt,
Yearning for freedom, seeking a way out.
A heart once whole, now torn apart,
In the aftermath, I gather shattered parts.

Struggling to be free, a daunting feat,
Echoes of love, bitter and sweet.
Searching for solace in the silence,
Piecing together fractured reliance.

5. Title: “The One That Got Away”

Every day hurts as the last,
If I could turn back time, return to the past.
A world where things were lovely and true,
A past where I know I could be with you.

Now the future is still unknown,
Yet I thank you for the love you had shown.
My world turned upside down, I’ve found,
Each day gets harder, emotions unbound.

You were my heart, my soul, my best friend,
Filled me with joy, made me whole, ’til the end.
Though paths have changed, we’re now apart,
You hold my heart forever, I pray and start.

Memories linger, one eye on the past,
Cherish every moment, make them last.
You’ll always be within my heart,
A bittersweet art, even though we’re apart.

6. Title: “Hoping”

I write this for you to read,
A heartache that forever will bleed.
Wishing for a different reality,
Yet this is what you’ve made of me.

Alone day by day, I sit,
Realizing life’s better, bit by bit.
Admitting the hurt from your lies,
Yet my cries, unheard, it implies.

Once you made my world proud,
Now it crumbles, silent and loud.
From this, something good may rise,
A chance for true happiness lies.

Goodbye, so it shall be,
Wishing for your love was foolish of me.
Moving on, too easy for you,
Hoping this poem brings heartache anew.

7. Title: “Echoes of Eternity”

You walked away, leaving me to stray,
No words to convey, no home to stay.
Tears swelled, in my gaze they welled,
If only you held, the reason for my daze.

Darling, I’d wait through countless years,
Hope for fate, drowning in tears.
Space may grow, worlds apart,
Yet, we know, love’s beating heart.

You and I, a faded hue,
I can’t deny, what you put me through.
Heart shattered, in pieces, a cup,
Torn, tattered, thrown away, given up.

We fought eternally, a love so true,
But it did not last, that is true.
I fought just for you,
Yet, now it’s time to bid adieu.

8. Title: “We Lost Each Other”

I could ask you to stay,
Yet nothing’s left to say.
This breakup, emotional and long,
Yet in my heart, I find I’m strong.

Naturally growing apart, we find,
Yet the ache remains in my heart, entwined.
Days without words or a simple text,
Left me wondering, what comes next?

No goodbyes, you just left one day,
No energy left for tears, I must say.
I knew it was over, on our own we roamed,
You distant, me feeling so alone.

Mixed emotions, mistakes laid bare,
Drowning in lakes of sadness, anger, and despair.
Wishing you the best, a heartfelt test,
As strength and endurance face the rest.

9. Title: “Free From a Bad Relationship”

As I sit in my corner and think about your lies,
I’ve nothing else to do but break down and cry.
You knew it would end, you knew it would die,
One day we’d say goodbye, and part with a sigh.

You said you loved me, you said you cared,
But inside, a rage slowly flared.
Shared moments replay in my head,
Alongside sweet lies you once spread.

You played a game, thought you’d win,
In the end, found nothing within.
Deep down, a vast empty space,
You couldn’t fill, a vacant place.

Without your love, I’m finally free,
Free from pain, from deceit, from misery.
Now I see the truth of what you came to be,
Without your love, I’ve found my liberty.

10. Title: “Deceptive Love”

Love, a four-letter word, heart so sore,
Thought it was love, but he’s something more.
A thug in disguise, dealing his best,
How to break free from this turbulent quest?

Claims love with all his heart,
Yet, in the end, tears you apart.
Courage to leave, a fleeting tease,
Back you go, hoping he’ll appease.

He seems changed, a deceptive guise,
Soon reverts, old habits arise.
Wondering why, questioning your try,
In leaving, he grabs, you can’t deny.

Hits you, calls you names so foul,
Cry and pace, in this toxic howl.
Spitting words, a vicious chase,
Never taught what love’s true grace.

11. Title: “Put Heartbreak to Rest”

Release the grip of heartbreak,
Unravel your soul’s entwine.
Bid farewell to clinging parts,
Step into peace, anew, refined.

Say goodbye to the echoes,
Of a love that’s now a ghost.
Forge ahead with inner peace,
Discover the evolved, emerging most.

In the tapestry of healing,
Weave threads of strength and grace.
Unshackle from the past’s embrace,
Embark on a journey to a brighter space.

Untangle knots of yesteryears,
Find solace in the present’s glow.
Embrace the freedom that awaits,
In the onward journey, let resilience grow.

12. Title: “Waiting for This Story to End Before I Begin Another”

Shadows cast on love’s grand stage,
Time wove tales, hearts disengage.
No photographs or tokens’ hold,
A love’s departure, untold.

No lingering traces, no mementos persist,
Only a fading film reel, love’s sweet twist.
Names etched into the void’s abyss,
A love once vibrant, now sealed with a kiss.

A lifetime ago, passion took flight,
Now echoes of a distant, silent night.
Photographs, sweatshirts, all erased,
Love’s vivid canvas, now replaced.

No evidence remains of love’s fervent blaze,
A fading film reel in love’s winding maze.
An ache in the silence, memories fleeting,
Love’s retreat, the heart’s quiet beating.

13. Title: “Feels Like a Lifetime”

Feels like a lifetime has slipped away,
since I loved with such fervor each day.
Craving more and more and more,
no photos, no sweatshirts to adore.

No traces left, no remnants of us,
no brunch receipts or concert fuss.
No evidence of the love we once built,
just echoes of feelings we spilt.

Names carved into the void,
our love lost, left unenjoyed.
No proof of the passion that flowed,
just whispers of the love we bestowed.

My skin aches, holding onto the past,
a film reel of memories, fading so fast.
Yet, I find solace in letting go,
embracing a future where new stories grow.

14. Title: “Resilient Steps”

I may not offer a remedy
for your fractured heart,
yet heed this counsel:
continue moving steadfastly forward.

Within the domain
of uncertainty,
summon the strength
to stride resolutely ahead.

Every footfall,
an eloquent testament
to your unwavering courage,
embracing a journey with fortitude.

Hence, progress steadily,
one step at a time,
traversing the intricate path,
rediscovering your way with resilience.

15. Title: “Carrying Life’s Journey”

That time, I approached grief near,
Closer to death, or so I’d fear.
God’s hand, friends’ support so dear,
Bent, laughter lost, yet somehow here.

Brave Daniel spoke a truth profound,
“It’s not the weight but how it’s bound,
Embrace it, balance, don’t discard,
Carry it when life hits hard.”

So, I practiced, have you seen?
Laughter arising, joy between,
Startled sounds from lips unclean,
Admiring life, troubled but serene.

Roses in the wind’s soft play,
Sea geese dancing on waves each day,
Love with no reply, a journey’s sway,
Life’s complexities in disarray.
