Can’t Force Myself

Do you ever think of me? Or do you just pretend “we” never existed? Have you made up a lie to yourself about how you never loved me any way? You left me wondering what I did wrong; wondering how I can fix something that doesn’t exist any more.  I’m lost in sadness! J.W.

 

Why do 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.

My Heart, My Body, My Soul

No words can express the pain you caused. After you crushed my heart I started shutting people out. I began to hide behind a wall so no one can see how deep my grief was and to keep my tears hidden. I gave you my heart, my body, my soul, my all. You violated me. K.N.

O’ eyes do not weep
Cease the deluge of pain
And heart do not beat
Sad remembrance of him
Mind do not tarry
Lest fear should befall
Upon vows that you carry
And love you recall

My Noon, My Midnight…

Why love comes, stays a while and diminishes is as mysterious as why it rains and more difficult to predict. When sensing the coming of a storm there is never certainty if a feeling is accurate. I sensed you were falling out of love with me and sadly, I was correct. T.J.

He was my North, my South,
my East and West,
My working week
and Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight,
my talk, my song;
I thought that love
would last forever:
I was wrong.
English-American poet, Wystan Hugh

Does He Know?

There are no words to express how devastated I am to find out you’ve been unfaithful to me for years. I’m just a stupid gullible man who loved and trusted you. I was a fool! My shattered heart will never be the same again. The cracks you put there will always remain. R.B.

Visions of you still dance in my head
I remember all the things you said.
You said you’d never let me down
But there lies my heart on the ground.

Broken in pieces I’m unable to fix;
I knew loving you would be a risk;
But I went ahead and took the chance
Thinking somehow we’d finish the dance.

I hope you’ll be happy the rest of your life
Does he know he’s getting a cheating wife?

My Darkest Nightmare

I don’t believe in fairy tales any more, but do believe in horror stories. I thought you were my knight in shining armor, but instead found you out to be my darkest nightmare. You’re an immoral, deceitful and corrupt thief! Loving you has turned me into a tragic fool. W.A.

You didn’t love her.
You just didn’t want to be alone.
Or maybe, maybe she was
just too good for your ego.
Or, or maybe she made you feel better
about your miserable life,
but you didn’t love her,
you don’t destroy people you love.

Shivering at My Own Vehemence

Do you see what you have done? You’ve driven me to words I can’t even TYPE. Words so foul and vile that they draw me inward, shivering at my own vehemence. This is what you did to me. You destroyed my innocence and wiped your dirty feet on my spirit. J.T.

I know this hurt,
I’ve been hurt before.
My eyes are still stinging;
My body is sore.
I know this hurt,
My stomach in knots.
My whole body’s shaking,
Alone with my thoughts.
I know this hurt,
I know I’m not fine.
But something feels wrong.
What’s different this time?
“Hurting” by Jenna Zito

Only a Rock

Why? That word permeates my thinking without a hint of an answer echoing back each time the question is thought. I gave my heart to you as surely as any was ever given. I thought you had given your heart to me and now have discovered it was only a rock. R.F.

Oh heart, oh heart, why must you beat?
Oh heart, oh heart, why must you weep?
Oh heart, oh heart, why must you hide?
Oh heart, oh heart, what lies inside?
Oh heart, oh heart, why must you cry?
Oh heart, oh heart, why do you despise?
Oh heart, oh heart, why are you weak?
Oh heart, oh heart, why can’t you speak?
Oh heart, oh heart, why must you burn?
Oh heart, oh heart, why can’t you learn?
Oh heart, oh heart, what went wrong?
Oh, heart, oh heart, can’t you be strong?
Oh heart, oh heart, why are you blue?
Oh heart, oh heart, where are you?

Heartstrings Open and Bared

Did you use me to get your old girlfriend back? It seems like I was only to make her jealous and regret leaving you. It must’ve worked because she’s back. All you told me was “I don’t want to see you more”. It’s wrong to play with someone’s heart the way you did with mine. F.T.

It’s becoming more evident
Much more obvious to me
I thought much more of you
Than you ever thought of me.

Was this my biggest mistake
Letting myself think you cared
Was I just your marionette
With heartstrings open and bared?

With me left here still thinking
What was false, what was true
So puzzling and so complex
I’m left to await another clue.

Until You Have Lost It

You slept with my best friend! Now I have to walk away not only from you, but also from my best bud since 10th grade. Two of the people I care about most violated my trust in the worst way. I am sad, angry, heart-broken and disappointed in you both beyond words! J.S.

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.

Love is Insanity

I thought I could save you. My heart told me if I loved you enough you would change. So many times you convinced me you had beat your addiction, but after a short time you always let the drugs take you over again. I love you but I can’t live in this craziness any more. A.E.

Well, love is insanity.
The ancient Greeks knew that.
It is the taking over
of a rational and lucid mind
by delusion and self-destruction.
You lose yourself,
You have no power over yourself,
You can’t even think straight.
Marilyn French
