Lock My Heart Up

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I wanna believe you’re a perfect guy and everything you seem is true. You’re that book, with the pretty cover, that I just can’t wait to get into. Now I’ve read far enough into you I can’t put you down, I fear there will be a twist and by the last page I’ll be heartbroken. E.O.

Dont-fall-in-love

You have something that is mine;
You took it all, not just part;
It was very close to me, now it’s gone;
That’s right love, you took my heart.

So lock my heart up tight;
Make sure no one can take it;
Don’t let it out of sight;
Love, please try not to break it.

It’s Takes A Lifetime

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1I’ve accepted the fact that we can’t be. I’ve also accepted that you’re going to be that one person I carry with me for the rest of my life, the one that is always going to make my heart jump a little and my stomach tie up in knots no matter how happy I am otherwise. R.W.

It takes only a minute
to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime
to forget someone.

Someone Tell Me

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Usually missing you is only a dull ache in the back of my sub-conscious. But sometimes all the memories wake up and take me down for a day or two. I get through those times by remembering happy moments and feeling gratitude that you once loved me. M.P.

All the lonely nights
and all the crushing scenes
and all the pointless fights.
Someone tell me what it means.
Someone tell me why hearts break.
I’m giving up on happy endings.

Absolutely Done With You

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1You’ve hit me many times before but this is the last time you’ll take your anger out on me. I can’t believe I stayed for so long letting you beat and bruise me. You blame me for what is wrong with you, so I’ll make it easy. I’m leaving and am absolutely done with you. J.W.

…Even when I stop crying,
even when we fall asleep
and I’m nestled in his arms,
this will leave another scar.
No one will see it.
No one will know.
But it will be there.
And eventually all of the scars
will have scars, and that’s all I’ll be
–one big scar of a love gone wrong.
From “But I love Him” by Amanda Grace

I Know It’s True

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Still I am bewildered. What happened? Did I do something wrong or did you? One week you could not keep your hands off me and the next you barely wanted to touch me. It tears at my heart to think you have someone else. I don’t want to believe it, but I know it’s true. G.E.

To me our love was everything
and you were my whole life.
It is not very pleasant to realize
that to you it was only an episode.

Constant Regret

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Missing you isn’t the hardest part. Knowing I once had you is what breaks my heart. What drove me to look outside our relationship I can only describe as insanity. When people ask what happened I’m ashamed to admit what I did. I live with constant regret.  M.E.

You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is until you have lost it.

Melting Me Into Nothing

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1You’ll find me in the desert of the broken-hearted. There is little to live for here. The days pass slowly and the weeks run together into one long torture. My feelings for you are melting me into nothing. I love you so much, but your love for me has vanished into the sun. V.M.

desert

I miss the way it used to be,
Back when it was,
You and me.
I miss the way you held me tight,
I miss the way you’d call every night.
I miss the way you looked at me,
I miss everything we used to be.
I miss your touch,
I miss it so much.
I miss us so bad it hurts,
I miss it all.

The Torment of You

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Do you know what it is like to kill love? I do. After you broke my heart I prayed over and over to stop loving you and asked to die in the process. Eventually came freedom from the torment of you. I am still alive and my heart has finally dried out from the grief you left me in.

I thought when love for you died,
I should die.
It’s dead.
Alone, most strangely, I live on.
Rupert Brooke

Always Be In My Heart

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1The pain from you casting me aside felt like it was going to kill me at times. The emptiness was crushing. Now two years later I still care about you, but it’s not a bad thing anymore. I’m in love with someone new now, but know you will always have a place in my heart. P.S.

be called altogether unhappy.

You Stole My Heart Away

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1My friends said, “you’ll be okay after a while; time heals all wounds”. So I waited through months and now years but I am just as lost and heartbroken as when she left me. There are doubts within that I will ever be alright without the woman who stole my heart away. T.W.

You stole my Heart away
You ripped it out of my Soul.
You had no remorse as you did the deed
Not a sign of the slightest control.
You stole my Heart away
Yet I take pity on your soul.
It’s lost somewhere
As your heart is bare
Without, and all alone.
You stole my Heart away
But I’ll let you keep it, a little more
To show your Heart
How to See again
And how to hear once more.
