I can’t stop wondering why you ran away. I think I know, but the thought hurts. You still love me but are ashamed to admit what happened. You left me, went back to your old boyfriend and got hurt again, didn’t you? It strangles my heart every time I imagine you with him. L.L.
Until this moment,
I had not realized
that someone could
break your heart twice,
along the very same fault lines.
Jodi Picoult
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
Sometimes I forget we’re divorced for an hour or so, never much longer. All while the process was going on I thought you’d change your mind and somehow things would still work out. Now I realize you have left me completely behind and that really, really, really hurts! R.B.
You don’t die
from a broken heart.
You only wish
you did.

Some days I’m fine and on others just OK. Then there are days when I’m reminded of you like seeing a couple in love, a song, a movie, a place, or something someone says. Then a yearning comes over me and I’m reminded how deeply I am still in love with you. C.B.
Sometimes,
when one person is missing,
the whole world seems depopulated.
Lamartine
I keep telling my self, of course, you’re going to get your heart-broken. That’s part of life, and it makes me stronger. One day someone will come along, and it’ll all pay off. Then no one will ever break my heart again; that is once I get over you and how you hurt me. A.F.
As soon as
forever is through,
I’ll be over you.
Lyrics by Toto
No longer do I know where you are. Your phone number changed. You’ve moved far away with no forwarding address. No one I ask is aware of where you ended up. I date others and go out with friends, but my heart is still yours. Wherever you are, I love you, always. S.S.
I think of you in Silence.
I often speak your name.
All I have left are memories
and a heart around your name.
My heart aches with sadness
and all my tears flow.
What it meant to lose you
no-one will ever know.

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.

Loving you was not the first time I’d given my heart, nor will it be the last. However, there’s something unmistakably unique about what I felt for you and feel to this very moment. I have resigned myself to it never changing. From a distance I will always love you. J.B.
Thinking of you is easy.
I do it every day.
Missing you is the heartache,
that never goes away.
Michael Pryce
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.
