Sometimes as I start to wake up in the morning I forget you’re gone. Then as consciousness comes I don’t feel you near me, my eyes open and the reality of you no longer sleeping with me falls hard again. It’s all I can do to keep going. I wish I did not miss you so much. S.T.
I’m trying not to love you
I’m trying not to care
I’m trying not to live my life wishing you were there
I’m trying not to wonder where you are or what you do
I’m sorry I can’t help myself
I fell in love with you
In the end I was not good enough for you. You used to say it wasn’t true, but in the end you believed it. You grew up rich. I grew up poor. You have a career. I have a job. You’re from the city. I’m a farm boy. You said what your family thought did not matter. But it did; didn’t it? R.B.
I’m sorry for not being good as you
I’m sorry for only being me
I’m sorry for not being good enough, its true
I’m sorry for letting you see
I’m sorry for letting you down
I’m sorry for not making you smile
I’m sorry for every reason to smile, I give three to frown
I’m sorry for not making it worthwhile
I’m sorry for not making this work out
I’m sorry for having this end
I’m sorry for filling you with doubt
I’m sorry you had to pretend
I’m sorry not being better than I possibly can
I’m sorry for not taking you off of my shelf
I’m sorry for not being a good enough man
I’m sorry for being myself

I have loved and lost before, but never felt like I do now after losing you. It feels like I’m moving in slow motion while everything races by me. Others don’t see my pain and go on like nothing has happened while I am stuck here wondering why you no longer love me. A.F.
Alone in the darkness,
Pain, sorrow and despair
Mourning a trust born of spirit
I can’t now repairSearing pain so deeply
now carried deep within my heart
Betrayal done blatantly
yet hidden from the start.
From “Never Again” by Elle.rose7
I wonder where you are now. Did you fall in love again? Are you happy? Are you married? Children? Is your life what you dreamed of and made so many sacrifices for? It’s been years and I wonder if what you threw me away for turned out to be worth it. B.C.
You broke my heart
into pieces.
How can it put it back?
I want to love again
And replace you in my heart.
But how can I love again
if my heart still
wants you….
You want time away from me. So I release you with love and & gratitude. I thank you for all we have shared. If in time you wish to come back let it be because you have discovered my arms are the only home you need, but please be absolutely certain my love. C.C.
You can close your eyes
and pray that she’ll come back,
or you can open your eyes
and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty
because you can’t see her,
or you can be full
of the love you shared.
You can turn your back
on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow
because of yesterday.

Never will I understand how you could say you were in love with me & the next day say you never were. You chased me for weeks before I’d go out with you. We dated for months before I’d sleep with you. Then after one time you were gone. You sure fooled me and my heart. L.P.
I feel like no one cares
that I can’t continue living
this way.
Because the pain only intensifies
day by day,
and I know I will never have you again.
I wouldn’t wish the pain I’m in
on to my worst enemy.
No one should have to go through this.
So why am I?
Why didn’t you love me?
I gave you everything
And would have given you more.
You were too tired to go out, so I went to a movie by myself. I called afterwards, got voice mail and assumed you went to bed early. What a shock to see you a later outside Starbucks kissing a guy. You said you loved me and I was the only “one”. I’m a stupid fool! D.S.
All the wishes of my mind know your name,
And the white desires of my heart
They are acquainted with you.
The cry of my body for completeness,
That is a cry to you.
My blood beats out your name to me, unceasing, pitiless—
Your name, your name.
Mary Carolyn Davies
My love, we tried. We did our best. Somewhere along the way we lost each other while we worked hard to build our careers. We can’t get it back and no one is to blame. We didn’t fail. Ours was a great love. We were exactly what each other needed for a time. G.D.
After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn…
“After A While” by Veronica A. Shoffstall
My heart’s broken; destroyed; stomped on. Whizzed in a food processor. Grated into tiny pieces with a cheese grater. Ripped in two and set on fire. You waited til my birthday to break up. Now I’ll think of this pain on every birthday that follows. Was that your intention? K.M.
Some Day You’ll Cry For Me
Like I Cried For You,
Some Day You’ll Miss Me
Like I Missed You,
Some Day You’ll Need Me
Like I Needed You,
Some Day You’ll Love Me
But I Won’t Love You
We ignore each other and try to pretend the other person doesn’t exist, but deep down we know it wasn’t supposed to end like this. It’s amazing how someone can break your heart and you can still love them with all the little pieces. V.M.
For Sale:
One Heart.
Horrible condition.
Will take anything for it.
PLEASE…
Just cut it out of my chest
and end this suffering.
