Never Able to Trust Again

Reading the paper with your engagement ring on my finger, I was shocked to find a wedding announcement with your name and not mine! What a horrible way to find out you didn’t want me. It will take a long time to heal but I’ll never be able trust again like I did you. A.F.

The people
Who hurt you the most
Are the ones
Who swore most
they never would!

Slipped Through My Fingers

How long does heartbreak last? I let the love of my life slip through my fingers. It’s been two years since I broke up you, the woman I loved dearly. I thought things might be better with my Ex., but I was so wrong.  You’ve moved on and don’t trust or want me anymore. D.G.

Have you seen my smile
because the last time I wore it
was when I was with you.

How Can It Be

You are not who you made me believe you were. What you shared about your past was ALL lies! You got me to tell you my dreams and then said yours were the same. You worked so hard at being something you’re not, and for what? To get into my pants?  You’re a FAKE!  D.B.

How can it be
That you can’t see me?
I stand before your non-seeing eyes
With blood on my wrists and begin to cry.
I run to the comforting corner between the walls.
I cannot take this hurt, these lies; not at all.
How can it be
That I’m on my own, but still not free?
From an on-line poem – author noted only as “justjosie”

I Don’t Know Why

You’ve broken up with me twice before to go be with someone else. Then you turned up later begging forgiveness and I took you back. Not this time. My need to protect my heart is far stronger than what remains there for you. You’re a no good dog. Leave me alone! S.S.

I don’t know why
they call it heartbreak.
It feels like
every other part
of my body
is broken too.

An Untold Story

Not once could I find the words. No time or place was ever just right for me to say “I love you”. We’ve been friends for seven years. I’ve loved you as far more than that for five of them. I waited too long and now you’re engaged. Do I keep my secret forever or tell you? W.F.

There is no greater agony
than bearing an untold story
inside you.

The Love You Threw Away

Life moves on. I’m married now. I have two children and love my family a lot! Eight years ago you chose another over me. My life had to take a different direction. The one you picked has left you behind and now you want me. I will always love you, but you’re too late. V.M.

You say you want me, and it’s too late.
Once my love for you was so great.
But it’s too late to love me now.
You say you need me, and it’s too bad.
I know the feeling and it’s so sad.
But it’s too late to love me now.
Don’t you know how hard I tried to hold out just for you?
Loving you from memory day by day.
Then someone came into my life, turned my dreams around
…taking all the love you threw away.
From “It’s Too Late To Love Me Now”
By Bourke, Dobbins and Wilson

The Hopelessness I Knew

It’s been a year. Why after all that time would I take you back? Remember when leaving you said you didn’t love me and never had. Now you say you loved me the whole time.  I don’t believe you. You’re just lonely and want to use me to fill the emptiness in you. D.K.

I loved you, and I probably still do,
And for a while the feeling may remain…
But let my love no longer trouble you,
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew,
The jealousy, the shyness – though in vain –
Made up a love so tender and so true
As may God grant you to be loved again
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

It’s Too Late…

If only I could have found courage to say how I truly felt things might be different now. We stayed just friends even though you wanted more. I didn’t know how to let you in although I’ve been in love with you for years. Now your heart belongs to another. It’s too late. 失恋

Love comes when manipulation stops;
when you think more about the other person
than about his or her reactions to you.
When you dare to reveal yourself fully.
When you dare to be vulnerable.
Dr. Joyce Brothers
