You’re gone. It’s not my fault. The problem is you hate yourself. No one else can fix that except you. I tried to love you enough so you’d love yourself. It didn’t work. Now you’re with someone new. You’ll break her heart too ’cause you don’t know how to love. L.W.
A
broken
heart
bleeds
tears.
Steve Maraboli
You broke my heart and six months later I forgave you and let you back into my life. Then you left me in ruin a second time. Now you’re back begging for forgiveness again. I can’t do it. I just can’t. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. S.R.
Paint a perfect smile
Straight onto my face.
Wash it off good
Don’t leave any trace,
Of our happy times
The days we shared.
Hours of togetherness
Back when we cared
But we lost touch
My hand slipped from yours.
We went our ways
And closed open doors.
Then times got tough;
I needed you.
My heart was empty
My sadness grew.
I silently wept
As you left me there
Lost and alone.
I just can’t bare
Another lost heart
Or even more crying.
I need someone here
To do what you never would
Paint a permanent smile
The way you never could.
From Paint a Smile by ‘Hanna Smoothie’
Week after week I stayed thinking you’d grow up, you’d change and you’d stop hurting me. Yet, over time how you treated me only got worse. Still I didn’t leave, thinking if only you could see how much I loved you, then you’d change and we’d be OK. It didn’t work. A.O.
I’ve heard that people stay in bad situations
because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees.
It is said that a frog will not jump out of a pot of boiling water.
Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time,
and he will stay until he is boiled to death.
Us frogs understand this.
Deb Caletti
I barely knew you when I caught you lying the first time. Later came many more untruths I knew were white lies, but never said anything. I always suspected you’d hurt me in time. I just hoped some how, some way you’d prove me wrong. But that’s not what happened. T.M.
We don’t always love what is good or
who is good for us. With frightening frequency
we fall in love with things that damage our life
and people who tear us to pieces.
James Browning
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
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”
You constantly got so jealous it scared me. There was no reason. I was always faithful! Why were you always asking others about me, even my family when I didn’t know it? Why did you doubt me so much? My love did not fade, it was trampled to death by your mistrust. E.D.
If you had stayed,
I wouldn’t have been myself.
You made me hurt inside,
Too weak to even ask for help.
If you had stayed,
I’d have given up my dreams
And been your puppet
While you tugged hard at my strings!
By Dreamer Thinker
Whenever we entered a room you did your best to make sure every man looked at you. I should have known how you dressed and acted meant you’d never be faithful to me. Love is blind and sometimes we love what is bad for us even when we know it. E.A.
A pretty girl
is nothing
if she has
an ugly heart.

Was I only a another conquest? Did you love me at all? Or was I only what you desired that once obtained lost its appeal? In a day you went from saying you couldn’t live without me to breaking up with me for someone else. I hate myself for letting you treat me this way. R.W.
My heart…
You tore it.
Piece by piece you shredded it.
And no one can fix it.
No one wants to.
Because they look at what you made me.
A girl with permanent tears painted on her face.
I am now just an empty void.
There is no desire to want to love again.
