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!

Drown What’s Left of You

Often I wake knowing I’ve been dreaming of you again. I relive good times or spin new make-believe ones in my subconscious. Then there are dreams when I hear you say again “I love you and forgive you, but can’t forget what you did. I can’t be with you anymore.” A.O.

So bring on the pain
Let it kill your memory
Bring on the rain
Let it drown what’s left of you and me
I know the only way I’m ever gonna make it
Is burying the best of us
Even though it’s killing me
Cause I don’t love you any less
But I can’t love you anymore
From the song “I Can’t Love You Anymore” by Gary Nichols

All Over that Town

Only months after I left you a thousand miles behind did I even begin to get over you; to get better. I was shriveling emotionally. My heart was dying. It was too hard to stay there and be reminded of the memories of us all over that town. I had to move away to survive. K.H.

She lies awake,
Doesn’t know what to do,
Wondering how,
will she ever make it through.
She is in love
and believed the one
Who said I love you first.
He says he is sorry
But she knows it’s not true.
“Why?!” she screams
“I’d never have done this to you!”

Lost to Me Now

Now I know the full force of the pain of a broken heart. I thought I’d been in love before. I cried over several men before, but the hurt passed. You breaking up with me six months ago was devastating. Only through the agony have I realized how deeply I care about you. D.B.

Get a life! Move on!
All the usual advice
That flies over my head.
How CAN I explain?
How can I get through?
Without him beside me.
I’d rather be dead.
To my dreams and desires
He is lost to me now.
And lost he’ll remain;
And the only thing living
Is my sense of real pain.

Smile Because it Happened

Loneliness that felt like it was going to kill me is mostly gone. There were moments when the pain of missing you made it hard to breathe. At times now I look back and enjoy good memories; sometimes it still hurts like hell. You’re in my heart for the rest of my life. D.E.

Don’t cry because it’s over.
Smile because it happened.
