Something of Ultimate Value

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1How was I to know the ingredients to make whole a many-times broken heart was buried inside me? All I needed was a sprinkling of your magic and enchantment starts to awaken. Like a great quest for something of ultimate value, love’s mystery begs solving. J.R.

LoveKnight

There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming grief
…and unspeakable love.
19th century American author, Washington Irving

A Long Time Gone

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Love doesn’t come with instructions. One learns through mistakes and heartbreak. I was immature and ignorant when we were a couple. Maybe if I hadn’t acted like a child you would still be here and I wouldn’t have ended up loving someone who’s a long time gone. J.W.

When you lose someone you love,
you never get over it.
You get used to it.

I Know It’s True

Posted by James Browning on

broken20heart1Still I am bewildered. What happened? Did I do something wrong or did you? One week you could not keep your hands off me and the next you barely wanted to touch me. It tears at my heart to think you have someone else. I don’t want to believe it, but I know it’s true. G.E.

To me our love was everything
and you were my whole life.
It is not very pleasant to realize
that to you it was only an episode.
W. Somerset Maugham

Without You

Posted by James Browning on

I’m smiling, but don’t mean it. I miss how it used to be. I miss how our love was so real; how we cared for each other without end. Most of all I miss you telling me everything would be alright. I need that now more than ever. Without you it’s not going to be okay. B.B.

Lost love is still love.
It takes a different form, that’s all.
You can’t see their smile
or bring them food
or tousle their hair
or move them around a dance floor.
But when those senses weaken another heightens.
Memory. Memory becomes your partner.
You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.
Mitch Albom

Females Like You

Posted by James Browning on

Why did you cheat on me? You broke my heart into a thousand pieces and then laughed when I confronted you. It sucks to be a man who is so heartbroken he cries over a tramp like you. You’re one of the reasons men use women. They learned from females like you! T.E.

We hurt so much
because we have lost a part of ourselves.
If we have loved much,
we must have given much also,
and when everything’s over,
we feel as though we have lost everything.
Jocelyn Soriano

Never Be the Same Again

Posted by James Browning on

You’re so wicked and good at deception. Otherwise, you could not have fooled me for as long as you did. You’re a despicable liar and a low down thief, but the worst is my heart was truly innocent when you broke it into a thousand pieces. It will never be the same again. K.R.

The weak sometimes wish
to be thought wicked,
but the wicked always wish
to be thought virtuous.
Vauvenargues

How Do I Get Through This?

Posted by James Browning on

Like sudden lightening came your words “I want a divorce”. I knew we had problems, but though we’d work through them somehow. When I begged you to change your mind you said “NO” and walked away. I have hardly stopped crying since. How do I get through this? B.C.

All I can do
Is cry over you;
Crying over what I hoped could be,
Crying over what will never be.

I’m blind to what’s in front of me,
Seeing nothing but what I want to see,
But that is not realistic;
That is just my imagination.

I cry over the change that is happening just too fast;
Crying over the footsteps left in the sand,
Watching them disappear after every wave rushing upward,
Knowing they won’t reappear.

No matter how much I wish they would
Nothing will make this better,
Not unless I stop crying over you,
Not until I give up on you.
Unknown

Lost Something Wonderful

Posted by James Browning on

You never called me beautiful. Not once. Not beautiful, not pretty, not cute, not smart, not interesting, not funny, not sweet, not nice, not awesome. And you know what? I am all those things. In time you will realize you have lost something wonderful; me. It will be too late. K.D.

The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel.
“I broke something, Old Man”.
“How badly is it broken?”
“It’s in a million little pieces.”
“I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
“Why?”
“There’s nothing you can do.”
“Why?”
“It can’t be fixed.”
“Why?”
“It’s broken beyond repair. It’s in a million little pieces.”
James Frey

Once I Get Over You

Posted by James Browning on

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

I’m Just As Responsible

Posted by James Browning on

To become such a smooth and successful liar it took you lots of practice. For a lie to happen it takes one to say it and another to believe it.  As much as I blame you, I blame myself more for trusting you. If I hold a snake and get bite I’m just as responsible as the snake. A.G.

Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart;
of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants.
The way it stops and starts.
Edgar Allan Poe
