Don’t be upset that I don’t love you any more. Be upset that I once did and don’t any more. I gave you my heart but you treated me horribly. You should never have hit me the first time, much less the second or third. Once I began to fear you my heart emptied quickly. D.P.
I know that it’s easier to look at death
than it is to look at pain,
because while death is irrevocable,
and the grief will lessen in time,
pain is too often merely relentless and irreversible.
Robert Goolrick
Desire searing in my veins uncontrolled drove me to temporarily forget what love is. You walked in on me with a girl I cared nothing about but satisfying a momentary desire. In an instant love was shattered for something less meaningful than a single bite of dessert. D.K.
To cheat oneself out of love
is the most terrible deception;
it is an eternal loss for which
there is no reparation,
either in time
or in eternity.
Soren Kierkegaard
Losing you has thrown me into a tailspin. Once I liked who I was, but now it’s difficult to even look at my reflection in a mirror. How long will I punish myself for hurting you & driving you away? Will this pain ever leave? How can I forgive myself? How do I end this torment? R.B.
The worst loneliness
is to not be comfortable
with yourself.
Mark Twain
Children, careers and time teamed up on us and we were too weak as a couple to overcome the effects. Over time we lost each other and as hard as we tried we couldn’t regain the magic we once had. I will always regret learning a forever love doesn’t always last forever. D.E.
Ever has it been
that love knows not
its own depth
until the hour of separation.
Kahlil Gibran
I’ll never understand why we can’t stay together, but can’t stay apart either. We’re like two benign substances when combined combust or explode. I love you. You love me. I wish that was enough, but it isn’t. It breaks my heart to say it, but I don’t want to can’t live this way. E.L.
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.

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.

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.
The years pass. I stay alone. Women used to come in and out of my life all the time as I searched for another love better than the last. I let you get away, but later realized you were “the one” in my heart; the one I loved. If I can’t have you, I don’t want anyone. E.T.
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.

You knew cheating was an unforgivable act to me. So what did you expect when you admitted in counseling you had an affair? I found a lawyer that day and filed for divorce. I always told you I would! Why didn’t you believe me? What’s broken can’t be mended. T.D.
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow,
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.In secret we met,
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.
From “When We Two Parted” by
“Lord Byron”, George Gordon Byron
The truth hurts, so I lied. “I think we need a break. I love you but just need some space. We’ll be back together soon.” I thought that was the best way of letting you down easy. Months passed. I never called. Then realizing my mistake and calling, I found out I was too late. R.B.
So many times I thought of that day,
When you held my hand
And I walked away.
The pain in your eyes burned through me then
When I close my eyes now, I see it again.
A love so young, so unbridled and raw
Being trapped and confused was all that I saw.
How could I know what I feel today
When I closed the door on your heart
And walked away?
