Broken Heart

I want to build you a library and fill it with all your favorite books
And all the reasons I still love you.
And I will never stop adding to it
That way you can wander the halls of my heart chambers forever.
I wrote a poem once about how you need to break
To truly shatter if you ever want to learn to put yourself back together again
Because no mosaic is built without first becoming broken pieces
I never intended to melt
To fill the mold I was instructed to fill
I never intended to fade
To break away pieces of myself
To squeeze between the cracks
To suck the moisture from the pavement
You were supposed to be
The one who would love me
and take care of my heart.
Love denied once again.
I still feel the pain, hurt, and suffering
From past and present relationships.
I still remember that day…
The day when Heaven cried.
When Heaven Cried.
Oh, When Heaven Cried.
That was the saddest day in September.
Their love was special.
It doesn’t matter what I name this poem
Or perhaps it won’t deserve a name
We never name the things we plan to kill you see
Since names make it that much harder to watch it die
tremendous and snarling
the glinting of teeth
who once called you darling
now comes from beneath
the twisted endeavors
of a lover turned sour
like a fistful of feathers
Loving you was everything I thought it would be
And so much more than I could have imagined
Loving you was canceling plans to spend time with you
Why don't you see me?
Why don't you care?
Why can't you tell?
Why don't you know how much I love you?
Why don't you love me back?
Do you not see me cry while you laugh with them?
You left, leaving me shocked and groundless
this tsunami I did not foresee
and my world stopped as did my breath
the pain was crushing, a boulder the size of the moon
I'm tired if feeling all alone...
Waiting....
Anticipating....
Heart racing...
Pacing....
Giving up on Love....
Retracing....
Reminding me of what was...
What could be...
I'm tired if feeling all alone...

For the losers who lost us. The people who loved us. The lucky people who get to meet us.
This is for you.
I don't have an attitude, just a personality you can't handle love.

I want edges in my jaw like ice
And I want you to cut yourself upon them
I want words in my mouth like venom
And I want you to poison yourself on my kiss
I want light in my eyes like sunshine
Broken Heart by: Luis V
I told you I won’t let you die
You told me you won’t let me cry
You told me you didn’t want to see me cry anymore
I told you I won’t lie
Broken Heart by: Luis V
Girl you broke my heart
God where you at, you better have my back
I didn’t deserve this pain
I didn’t deserve this
is it me, or just a comforting presenceone that wont look at you wrong, a fear of feeling i may never be more than you wanted me to bea wild feeling, one i cant escape are you a feeling, or true comfortsecurity, safety, and seamless satire who am
No heart is odious,No heart is implicitly comfortless,But some heart, though unknown,Responds to my own.
Your the prey
Im the predator
My neckless
the hang noose
around your neck
ive got you wrapped
around my finger
my mark from your chin
to my belly and your kiss
down to your toes
Once I had a heart,
A heart as big as the world!
Well maybe not that large…
But it fit inside of a girl.
But over time I find it broken,
Shattered beyond repair.
I should have never let it open
It's the little things that plague my mind.
Like the way your eyes crinkle when you smile
or the way you laugh after a bad joke.
The way your hand fit perfectly in mine
...Half asleep, I hear a light rustle outside my window then a sunk on the right side of my bed. You lightly shook me and smiled. As always, conversation turns into an argument.
if you ever miss me
and hesitate if you should call
to tell me or not...
just whisper it to the wind
and let it carry your words on...
maybe i'll be able to feel the coldness of your heart then
If it only takes two to tango, then why do you need another dance partner? Are my steps not on time? Are we not following the same rhythm? Do I not move when you move? Or perhaps it’s you who can’t keep up with the beat.
My love, you are my world;
You fill me with imagination, inspiration, new creations;
You open my eyes to see what can be.
You are my life;
My heart beats for you, I breathe for you;
You are my heart;
When I fell in love the first time,
She felt the same pain as me,
I shared with her a song
One that we listened to together
Its lyrics always soothed us
I was given a gift by someone I truly loved,
A little green turtle,
Something I could put on my key ring.
She had one too,
And it made our love grow stronger,
I just want to be in love,
Like we were so long ago,
She’s left me by myself,
And I can’t escape this hell.
She doesn’t love me any longer,
Your words dropped to the floor like the weapons that they were,For you cared not for what you meant to me,For you cared not that your words stung like a slap to the face,
I gave you everything,
You gave me nothing!
You took my heart,
You took my mind,
But, you also took
My life!
Before you,
I was empty,
Loneliness, my only friend.
I feel it begin, the drip drop of the rain,
The ominous storm, soon to devour my soul,
My heart screams denial, it crushes my chest,
The hot rain beats down, I lose all control,
As I look upon the shattered glass of a mirror,
I realize that I am looking at a reflection of my heart.
I see how broken it really is
and know that each blow that hits me makes me stronger.
Best friends you said
looked me deep into my eyes
straight into my soul i thought
best friends you said
over your shoulder
casually, easily
best friends you said
I thought about it a lot,you know. I thought about howyou would curl into my chest on thosecold, crispnights full of stars. A way ofsaying "I love you", but withoutthe sound, the verbal reassurance.
8 Months ago...
That's when I first met you.
When I first saw you.
I didn't notice you before, but your divinity and your aura brought me to you.
Like I drug I was addicted
I couldn't see that you were vindictive
Using me to get back at her
Shattering my fragile heart like a mirror
Freezing over from the coldness of your heart
Jealousy appears to be the only feeling in my heart.
As I watch you touch him like I would like for myself.
Don't you dare love him...
but who am I to say.
He must feel similar to my own pain.
I thought I can do better but I've never been so wrong,You walked away from all the pain I've caused you with my tongue,Trust me when I tell you I won't be like that again,
SHE WANTED THE WORLD IN HER HANDS
TO RULE THE LAND AND SEA
SHE WANTED THE WIND IN HER HAIR
AS SHE SPED IN HER BENZ
SHE ALMOST HAD IT ALL
BUT THEN SHE MET HIM
SHE FELL FOR HIM
RUN INTO MY ARMS
KISS ME UNDER THE MOONLIGHT
SPEND THE NIGHT WITH ME
LOVE ME FOREVER
I SAY YOU’RE MINE
AND YOU SAY I’M YOURS
BUT WHEN YOU HUG ME
WHILE MY EYES ARE CLOSED
- Please, please,
I am asking you,
don't call me a,
Nice guy, Great guy, Gentle Man, One of a kind, or the kindest person I have ever met.
Because you do not understand, how those word can effect my feelings.
How insane must one be to love me
Words on screen said one thing
Your eyes said one more to me
At first glance it was insufferable to digest
To trembling of fingers to heat on cheeks
It has been months
The vultures take turns feeding on my flesh
I dont know how after all of the harsh weather my remains are fresh
I dont know if i should be vulgar like this
When time dies, people still enjoy the misty nights alone
When time dies, people still discover ways to move on.
When time dies, I still see the look in your eyes
Nobody witnessing my death before the attempted suicide.
I know you're hurt. I know you're broken. I know that you thought the last time that this happened was truly going to be the last time. I want to start off by saying that it's okay. It is okay to not be okay.
I was trying to be conscientious to not think about you,
But after closing myself off in a personal quarantine for so long,
I couldn’t help but start reminiscing about our relationship.
The eyes of the devil are staring at me, waiting for a mistake.
Like a predator, It glares madly to each of the steps I take.
Aching hands
Bloodied taste
Bottle caps
Dirty clothes
Ink stains
Letters returned
Old tears
Broken heart
Music blaring but yet still unheard:
The price to pay to fill these pages
Relationships have been tough and rough this days
The last one torn me apart and taught me to be nobody’s fool
It all started when I love someone And he didn’t love me back,
instead of putting a stop to the deceit
My body is cold.
My fingers, frostbitten and blue.
The hairs on my arms protrude upwards, bumps litter my sugary skin.
I see each breath I take fogging the air and the window in front of me.
Because I love you
I put your feelings before mine
Because I love you
I pretend like I’m okay so you’ll never see me cry
Because I love you
Just as much as I love her, I want her. Not the way someone wants to fuck. Oh no, it goes so much deeper that the heart can feel every emotion, right down to all 7 chakras. I want her in all 7 ways, and no, this ain't lust.
We used to be inseparable,
But that quickly changed.
When he came along,
By you I became estranged.
Because I love you, I let you change me bit ny bit.
Because I love you, the past I never forget,-
I allow you to relive every bad decision I ever made,
and I feel deserving of this punishment all becsuse you stayed. -
I'm screaming
crying out in an echoed room
Love me
my own voice makes my ears bleed
the thumping in my head won't stop
Love me
I'm on my knees
my hands matted in my hair
Love me
i look into his eyes
and i see them shine
but to him they are dim
and are hardly divine
he made me feel happy
i made him feel valid
and when he found another
i began my ballad
The pain of loss, the pain of love
It echos high up above
A star that shines throughout the night
It goes on, small but bright
The question "why" plays in your head
As you look straight ahead
She wanders somewhere 'neath the tower.
Moonlight on her mind.
Big Ben's face to keep the hour,
Lost Girl seeks to find.
She lost it somewhere, she's grown sure,
Around this part of town,
Deep inside is where it hides,
I tried and cried but on the outside im bright,
People don't seem to notice my painful tears
my broken heart and a worthless thoughts,
I tried loving you with everything I had
I want you to remember this moment, remember this moment
It’s the reason your dreams ferment, this moment of torment
Of broken hearts, the enriching feeling of butterflies, and oh the laughter in your gaze
You never said thank you for the rides home
You never returned the looks in the hallways
The texts with the girl of the same name, I would never do that to you
One of these daysSomeone is going to come alongand break your heart darling,leaving you breathless on the curbas your heart shatters into a million pieces.But what happens nextdefines you as a person.
Half past twelve
Ticking began
Surrounded by waves
In lengths that fade
Silence screamed
And my heart gave way
To the beast inside
Never felt this way
The Biggest Mistakes I Made in my First Long-Term Relationship
i gave up my happiness in order to help make him feel whole
I used to be a girl
Who believed in
Love at first sight
But that had all ended
When my heart had been broken
Gosh, I felt stupid
Gosh, I feel worthless
But what am I supposed to do
Nothing to do.
No one to see,
and where are we?
No where,
but we are here now.
Now?
That is such a fleeting
time.
Is it a second
or a thought?
Perhaps a kiss
A normal day for me
Keep walking straight for me
Eyes on the ground
Not looking around.
Friends; I got none
I don't need anyone
I just got myself
Don't need no one else.
You are the reason that I am broken
Thank you.
For had you not broken my heart
I wouldn’t have seen myself reflected in the shattered pieces
This emptiness inside has made me realize that my heart is not made of steel and that what we had is not real.
I never knew what a broken heart was
Maybe because I was so used to the shards
Beautiful and dangerous
Who knew pain was so hard
I thought that was what I was supposed to feel
It's true when they say you never know what you got til it's gone,
I never knew what entered my life,
I didn't realize until the day I thought about you actually being my wife,
Her skin: soft as the edge of her sword
And her hair: carved from the volcanic ashes.
Her heart: away from advancing toward
His hardline lips; and her faint eyelashes:
Disguising keys to his grave, shallow as--
She was a gazer of the stars
You could see it in her eyes
She'd sneak out late at night
Just to stroll beneath the skies
Her eyes forever upward
Searching for a light
Her heart only beating
My heart is broken
I will never again hear your words spoken
You live on in my memories
I wish that was enough for me
Why am I still standing here
In this place where I was once happy
Even though I close my eyes
I still feel you staring down at me
Why won't you leave me alone?
How am I supposed to move on with this stare?
Held on
like a child
clinging to the string
that dangles from the bottom
of a ballon.
You huffed
and puffed,
like the Big Bad Wolf,
trying to blow away
my only happiness.
You're the only pain that I refuse to give up
and I don't think you understand just what you do to me
but maybe one day when we're all grown up
you'll look back and really see.
She was always a mess
Scabs on her face
Dried blood under her fingernails
Her heart throbbed until
It crumbled
And pieces of it cluttered the floor
Like words in my mind that I wanted to say to her
One day you and I will be okay
One day we will have this pain and despair at bay
One day we will realize we made the right choice
You know the feeling you get when your
heart breaks?
But then after a while, when you
meet someone new, you can feel
your heart being "stitched together"
again?
Well, when you get stitches, you're only
It was easy to tell,
which one of us had fell.
I had butterflies everyday,
Only the kind he gave.
He didn't even know,
I was forced to put on a show.
His girlfriend didn't care for me
Pieces of me
Are broken.
I've fallen so far,
So hard and so quickly.
Crumbled into thousands
Of pieces
Unknowing if the
Kings horsemen can put
Me back together
Again.
He touched my skin, He kissed my lips.
He told me I was special, He made me believe.
Maybe love is real, even for someone like me.
But then she came along and stole him away.
You dont want it to be real, a broken heart... its crazy.... almost unreal.... that pain.... you forget untill your reminded.... of what its like to love and lost....
...its bittersweet, really...
So many things
That many people don't know
The enlightenment they seek
Is nothing more than whispers in the dark
A song that plays and speaks
How to be best friends with your Ex boyfriends mother.
As quickly as I fell into your abyss the waters parted and we stood starring at each others soul.
Our universe being born.
Like a falling star with no hope of making it through we watched our worlds fail us.
I remeber day one, when you walked in the room without your usual kick to your step. You told me you were moving into the city and away from our nowhere town.
I wish I could lie
Parade in a snowy white lie filled gown
Half truths gleaming like diamonds across my breasts
I wish I could lie
The paint on theses wall are starting to fade away.
My everlasting grip won't always be here to stay.
This faulting and destructive envy inside of this pain,
Well slowly start to leak out of my hopeless brain.
okay, so maybe I'm not the most experienced gal,
and I'm probably going about this all wrong.
You see, when you say my name you make it sound pretty
not like a curse, or burden like he did.
This poem is a conversation between two people. The colors represent the person in the relationship who is speaking:
One night the storm came back to claim me as its own
I'm losing my sanity,
Swore on my heart, by the devils profanity.
Sold my soul to heavens illusions,
Lost all hope in its shameful intrusions.
I know this pain is seeping into you
Probably turning your amniotic fluid blue
Still taking little sips I wish were tasty
Laying here over 24 hrs and I can't barely move
With all my heart
You are tender and kind
Your always on my mind
If you could rewind
Stop all the fighting
It's not right
To fight
Over silly stuff
And don't be so rough
Love. Hate. The words in my mind that can't decide the place where you belong. Yeah I know, another one of "those" poems about a "special bond" shared between two. This ain't it. It was no picnic, it was misery.
I'm looking up at the sky, thinking about our memories--
And all the good times, and the bad; I remember...
When I really blew it hard to the core, beyond recover
After that I never saw you ever again.
Now here is the time
To say goodbye
And broken past
It never lasts
A woman shattered
Her heart in two
Her mind hasnt have a clue
A flying dove
Nothing to do with love
Your little tug boat has been on a long journey
Once it was a strong boat
Now the little tug boat struggles to stay a float
Even in the raging storm you found a reason to keep going
When we run, what do we have to show for it?
When we're nervous, no one will know of it
When we draw it, we obscure it
And defile and hurt it
It's ill-conceived to put
The word love, with the word hurt
Love.Oh why the painnnnThat you have caused me.Just a curse, scars on my body.Broke me down too my knees,
Daisies fall from your hair
Adrenaline flows through my blood
I hear your lungs gasp,
They inhale my soul.
My fingers are burned by your fire
Our entwined hearts have been crushed
My veins are running dry now,But I’ll try to write this one out.I’ll express the things I thinkWith what’s left of this ink.
They complain when i talk about my problems
Where can I be free?
Here I guess-
if you don't mind I will express myself.
It's been awhile now,
In fact it's been too long.
Everyday I see your face
Pop up in my head,
And my heart is ripped to pieces,
Shredded and lifeless.
Sometimes part of that
Broken,
Torn up,
Thing,
Here it is,
the memorie when you left.
Its kinda sad that my memories
are all I have left.
I lay awake thinking of you,
These thoughts alone are enough
to split my heart in two.
My heart is like a cabin in the woods;
Hidden from sight.
Sometimes I’ll raise signs to show that life still lives here,
But I forget;
There is no one around to see it
Allow yourself to grieve
Discover the way his name sounds when spoken from a throat tight with tears
How it sounds thrown against the wall, shattering
In my feelings
I want to scream.
I want to cry.
I want to yell at the sky.
It hurts.
Why does it hurt me
and not affect you?
These tears show pain, deep within is our anger too. If I cant stop this river, it'll overflow too. Maybe she'll come back, maybe fall in love too. Or maybe she'll run, from our love and us too. The love of our life, what did we lead to?
I feel so hurt and broken
Casted aside again
Lost and confused
Lead me on and get me excited
Want me and show me you care
Then trample me and drop me
Drop me like a lock of hair
She showed her Heart to All,And cried when All said nothing.She built a palace of glassAround her aching muscleTo keep everyone away.
And today I morn
Holding the parts to my crushed heart,
I stare into the abyss of my dull soul.
Curly brown hair,
Messy in a wonderful kind of way.
Green eyes, my favorite color.
Tall and lean and oh,
That smile.
That dimpled smile.
That smile that made it all seem alright
I can break my own heart just fine, thank you very much
And I don’t need you to judge
Me with your eyes of blue
Which seem to always come to my mind
I gave you my heart,and you gave me yours,piece by piece until i had it allbut I didn't realiseyou weren't giving me your heartyou were giving me minepiece by piece
Beauty came and beauty died,
the beauty of our love inside,
our hearts crying out with pain,
please take my pain away.
Let me feel the pain,
coming down like the rain,
On bent knees I plead...
Say...something...I'm giving up on you
Eyes closed...the feel of your finger tips
still resonsting in every pore
Tears streaming down my face
I can still feel the "I love you"
My life was like a kaleidoscope.
My hand gripped your's as we walked through the art fair that late May day.
Together.
Just like the pieces of the kaleidoscope.
Let’s change it up a little
To add a little spice
Instead of the usual
Breaking my heart
How about we break yours
And you tell me if it feels nice.
If you had listened
You would've known
That I wishing for you
But you never listened
Because you thought
You didn't have to
I told you everything
On my mind
But you should know
I can't explain how I feel about him.
He makes my heart beat, my head spin.
But it is impossible to be together.
Because no matter what he can't forget her.
Forever alone, I'll find no love
The thoughts of you, they fill my head
As I lie here in my cold and lonely bed.
When you held me close and whispered forever,
Now I realize your forever meant never.
Why did I let myself fall prey
Kiss me
Hug me
Tell me you love me
Where ever you are,
Keep thinking of me.
Feel me
Touch me
Tell me you want me
Drive me crazy,
Touching me softly.
Your hair
My heart I gave to the one I love. It started to float to the skies above but then he took and stomped my heart and riped it into two .
what do i do now?
i want to stay mad at you because you were wrong.
but i can't help but love you
you got him arrested!
no you didn't snitch but they were your pills.
you don't even feel sorry about it.
I try to move on the the future, and forget about my past, I don't' wanna waste my life away so fast, you say i have a heart so strong, so everything I have done wasn't all wrong? I have made my mistakes, So I try to forget about the pointless he
Pain, the wound created out of events that life has burdened upon you.
Experience, the wound healed and turned to nothing, but a scar only to be vaguely remembered.
It's hard to be erased.
A whole chapter of my life a waste.
You fell at a different pace.
So now, tears are all I can taste.
I saved your pictures, just in case,
Although, I have memorized your face.
My heart torn to be pieces wanting us to be together again,
My heart can never be repaired as long as we are apart.
I remember how we once were.
I love each of you my sisters.
I wish to be back to normal.
You still haunt me
As much as I try to pretend
You still have a hold on me
Your smile
Your hair
Your face
Your body
Your soul
It lingers
Close and still to my heart
Every second, minute, and hour of time wasted
Over countless thoughts, my mind has chased it
Mind steady
Heart ready
I hate the way that you left me,abruptly, and without warning.I hate how the last words you said to me were the best,“I love you, too,” you said into my embrace.I hate that I’m in shambles now,
A pinhole of light
stabs through the darkness in my mind.
That one single ray reminding me
that all is not lost.
My heart cries out, not for you, but for me.
For the me I was, the me I thought I'd be.
For my heart you have broke.
Broken for now;
Maybe forever.
You may never know,
The pain you caused,
Until the day,
I am gone forever.
He said they’d last forever
And yet he decides to leave her
The pain, it began to devour
Her soul leaving her weaker
(poems go here) Eyeslike sunshine, thoughts like a summer rain,
The one wild streak the boys find ever fair,
And while the heart is here, there, everywhere,
Knowing of no home drives a girl insane.
My love is not dying but getting stronger.
Waiting for you takes longer and longer
No matter how many days go by,
I think of you while looking at the open sky.
Close my eyes I dream of love
I fantasize of both of us
Combining thoughts like stars do dust
You... will become a part of me
Of all I see and think and need
Broken dreams too dark to see...
Close my eyes I dream of love
I fantasize of both of us
Combining thoughts like stars do dust
You... will become a part of me
Of all I see and think and need
Broken dreams too dark to see...
Its Round 3
I'm out of breath,
I can't keep going in circles,
My Heart is crying,
begging for mercy.
All this amounts to, is pain,
Love has disappeared,
I see its only a one-way street.
I Loved you
my heart gave you everything
And now you say its just a
"One Time Thing"
I Thought you loved me
that we could live happily
And open our hearts Freely
