A Heart of Stone

Posted by James Browning on

I loved you. I really did. When we were together you got all I had; everything. But all wasn’t enough for someone like you who is afraid of being loved; who thinks he doesn’t deserve it. Your heart is lost. Until you find it and learn to love yourself no relationship will ever last.  A.P.

Today I found a heart of stone
Just lying on the ground
I picked it up to hear it beat
But it didn’t make a sound.
I wondered who had left it there
Some poor heartbroken soul?
A heart that’s forgotten how to love
And turned as black as coal.
Today I found a heart of stone
A “You don’t love me shrine”
It hurts too much to pick it up
This heart of stone is mine.
From “Heart of Stone” by “Whiskurz”

A Shattered Stained-Glass Window

Posted by James Browning on

I wish I could break all the mirrors in my mind that keep reflecting you. Memories haunt me. Sometimes I forget for an hour or two, then someone says something or I see a place that reminds me. Then I am heartbroken all over again wishing you’d come back to me. L.A.

He was like a shattered stained-glass window:
something beautiful that’s broken;
a million colors fallen on the ground
where no light can get through.
Glenda Millard

May Cause Heartbreak

Posted by James Browning on

Often I caught you lying and forgave you. I made it easy for you to deceive me repeatedly. But guess what! I got even with you for cheating on me. I just slept with your best friend. Why? Because you slept with best bud! Did you find the lipstick on my shirt yet? E.A.

I wish people came with warning labels!
‘May cause heartbreak’
‘Your trust may be in jeopardy’
‘Under no circumstance believe him.’

Hardest Habit to Break

Posted by James Browning on

My mind says “forget you”, but my heart says “I can’t”. My soul says “run away fast” but my ego says “I can’t live without you”. There is a war of feelings pulling me apart as I am violently torn between ‘what I know I should do’ and ‘what I want to do’. I feel doomed. C.C.

Love is the hardest habit to break,
and the most difficult to satisfy.

Living Without You

Posted by James Browning on

The passing of time has helped close the gash you left on my heart, but the wound will never fully heal. At first I prayed to die but now I plead for amnesia so I can forget & let go of  what will never be again. Forever turned out to be a life of heartache of living without you. T.A.

Better never to have
known love at all,
than to live a life
of pathetic recall.
From “Love’s Last Word” by Joyce Hemsley

I’m Tired

Posted by James Browning on

I’m not upset, hurt, or angry anymore. I’m tired of putting in more effort than I receive. I’m tired of holding on for nothing. I’m tired of believing your lies. I’m tired of you proving me wrong every time. I’m tired of getting my hopes up & being disappointed again. K.D.

Do you know that you hurt me?
Do you even care?
All the things you told me,
Feel like lies and so unfair.
But now I have to realize you’re gone,
And I can’t drive myself insane.
I’ll just have to pick up the pieces,
Of my heart that remain.

I Thought Never

Posted by James Browning on

 Misunderstand me (often). Mistrust me. (why?). Beg for forgiveness. (frequently). Abuse me (you’re guilty!). Apologize (all the time). Take me for granted (regularly). Shower me with affection (seldom). Cheat on me (YES!) Hurt me (you have… BADLY). Goodbye!  L.E.

My heart is sunk and moist is eye,
As nothing is more painful than the last good-bye.
These two words would change my life forever,
As a life without you, I thought never.
From “The Last Goodbye” by Dinesh K.

A Little More Each Day

Posted by James Browning on

Hurt flows from inside out. I feel pain radiating from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. I never knew love could ache so horribly until you said “I don’t love you anymore”. I’ve tried everything but nothing relieves my suffering. I die a little more each day! R.B.

What can I do,
lost as I am in the wind
and lightning that surrounds you.
What can I do,
now that my tears
are rising toward the sky
only to fall back
into the sea again.
What can I do,
now that this page is wet;
now that this pen is empty.
From “Borrowed Love Poems” by John Lou

Excuse Me for Caring

Posted by James Browning on

Excuse me for caring about you. Even though we didn’t have the best relationship at the time, I still loved you enough to worry. Now you’ve turned it on me and called me screwed up and neurotic. Hold a mirror up. That’s actually a description of you! S.S.


You took my love, you broke my heart
You took my smile, and tore it apart
You left me crying down on the floor
The funny thing is, I still want more
If only you loved me like I wanted you to
But you tricked me into loving you
You tore me apart, you broke my heart
From “You Broke My Heart” by Alexandra Burke

Thrown In All Directions

Posted by James Browning on

Why? Why did you stop loving me? Was it something I did? Something I didn’t do? One day you loved me and the next you didn’t. All of a sudden you did not want to kiss me, hold me or make love to me. I am shattered into a thousand pieces thrown in all directions. H.S.

I am bleeding, the cut is deep, and I cannot stop the flow.
The wound is deep within my heart.
I have no way of stopping the never-ending,
Flow of pain and torment,
That takes me captive,
Like a fast-moving river.
My heart lies shattered as broken glass,
Fragmented in a million pieces,
