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.

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.

Why Did You…

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Crushed. Shattered. Trampled. Damaged. Appalled. Devastated. Hurt. Shocked. Dazed. Destroyed. Defeated. Dejected. Ruined. Wrecked. Stunned. Most of all HEARTBROKEN. I’m consumed with confusion, grief and pain. Why did you stop loving me? WHY??? L.C.

I cannot stand
being awake,
the pain
is too much.

Painful Love Awakens

Posted by James Browning on

I don’t regret being with you, but don’t wish we were together either. I don’t even like who you’ve become. Yet when I run into you, a deep and painful love awakens. It aches long after you leave. You haunt my dreams and my silence. I fear that may never stop. M.A.

Ask me why I keep on loving you
when it’s clear that you don’t feel
the same way for me…
The problem is that as much
as I can’t force you to love me,
I can’t force myself to stop loving you.

Echoes of His Own Thoughts

Posted by James Browning on

I feel like I am dead but still breathing. Food has no taste. Nothing holds my attention. I hardly speak. When I need to sleep I can’t. When I’m awake all I want to do is to escape into a nap. Without you my life lacks what it takes to make living meaningful. C.W.

The person who tries to live alone
will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes
of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
Pearl S. Buck

Safe With Me

Posted by James Browning on

If it were possible I’d bear your pain for you. But I can’t make the abuse you suffered as a kid go away. When things get to you, please remember I did not hurt you; I’ll always be here for you and most of all I love you with all my heart. You’re safe with me. J.D.

Only the weak are cruel.
Gentleness can only be
expected from the strong.

My Life In Our Past

Posted by James Browning on

I’ve been laying here all night, listening to the rain and talking to my heart trying to explain that it has to let go. I am so tired of catching myself wondering what might have been. It’s exhausting to spend my life in our past. I think about you now and then constantly. T.F.

The truth is, unless you let go,
unless you forgive yourself,
unless you forgive the situation,
unless you realize that the situation is over,
you cannot move forward.
Steve Maraboli

I Just Feel Pain

Posted by James Browning on

I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I just feel pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong. H.M.

Numbing the pain
for a while
will make it worse
when you finally feel it.

One of Those Days

Posted by James Browning on

Today was just one of those days where everything I did reminded me of you, every song I heard somehow related to you and every couple I saw brought back memories of us. I hate days like today, because they remind me of the one thing I don’t have. YOU!   B.C.

Frustrated because I can’t tell if it’s real.
Mad because I don’t know how you feel.
Upset because we can’t make it right.
Sad because I need you day and night.
Angry because you won’t take my hand.
Aggravated because you don’t understand.
Disappointed because we can’t be together,
but still I’ll love you forever.

Passion That Unhinges My Soul

Posted by James Browning on

I want to take back at least half of the I love you’s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones. I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. D.L.

You know that when I hate you,
it is because I love you to a point
of passion that unhinges my soul.

Only the Echoes of His Own Thoughts

Posted by James Browning on

Thinking I would be safe if I lived alone and did not fall in love again was flawed thinking. Over time my sadness grew and life became colorless with little taste. Now I know mourning a broken heart is better than having a heart that is dead. Finally I am facing losing you. A.E.

The person who tries to live alone
will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers
if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears
only the echoes of his own thoughts
and finds no other inspiration.
