You were secretly seeing her when we met and have while we’ve been together. So much deception. So many lies. Now I’m expecting your baby and don’t know what I’ll tell her about you one day. Do I tell the truth or let her discover for herself how weak you are? P.S.
Man is not what he thinks he is,
he is what he hides.
Andre Malraux
Maybe you got tired of me after years of marriage. Maybe it was the weight I gained after having the girls. Maybe it was our conflicting work schedules. Maybe we drifted apart over time without realizing it. Or maybe you’re a cheating liar I never should have trusted. R.S.
Loving you is the scariest
thing I have ever feared.
James Browning
Once I looked clearly at all the pieces there wasn’t a puzzle anymore. We just don’t fit together. The two of us are far too different. It won’t work! All the pieces are from two very different puzzles. It hurts like hell to say, but we’re not meant to be together. H.W.
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 grieve the death of your love everyday. People I loved deeply have died. Bearing that grief was difficult, but it passed in time. Them being gone helped me accept their passing. Knowing you are still alive and doing well without me brings perpetual sadness. L.G.
Yet nothing can to nothing fall,
Nor any place be empty quite;
Therefore I think my breast hath all
Those pieces still, though they be not unite;
And now, as broken glasses show
A hundred lesser faces, so
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more.
John Donne
You say you love me and I say I love you too. On one hand I’m happy and on the other fearful. Once before you expressed your feelings this way and left me a year later. I’ve let you back into my life, but can’t make the fear go away that you will forsake me again. A.F.
You say that you love rain,
but you open your umbrella when it rains…
You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines…
You say that you love the wind,
But you close your windows when wind blows…
This is why I am afraid;
You say that you love me too…
Turkish poem called “I Am Afraid” (Korkuyorum)
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
Over time it became painfully obvious we should not be together, but logic hasn’t stopped me from day-dreaming about what might have been. Hindsight has saved the good times & forgotten the bad. I suppose that’s lifes way of making me OK we’re no longer together. K.M.
We had a lot of fun
When we were together
I’ll never forget
I’ll always remember.The laughs that we shared
The dreams that we had
But those dreams changed
And they left me sad.I know you’ve moved on
And found someone new
But I have to admit
I still wish for you.This isn’t healthy for me
I really need to stop
When I think about our past
My heart wants to pop.So as I say my last goodbye
I want you to know
That I’m trying my best
To learn to just let go.“Just Let Go” by Aubrey at bestteenpoems.com
It seems the more I try to put thoughts of you out of my mind the more stuck in my head our memories become. You were the only woman I ever completely trusted. I still find it hard to believe that someone I had such faith and belief in could hurt me the way you did. R.Y.
There is that tree
Where I carved your name
Where the happiest place
Now causes pain.
“I love you” you said
Got used to those words
Now echoes that ricochet
Still in my head.
From “Memories of You”
by Kerry from New Zealand
Ten thousand times I have asked myself when did I begin to fall out of love with you. Well I remember being head over heals about you with a feeling that was amazingly profound. Nothing happened, yet one day my love began to diminish. I can’t help it. I’m so sorry. V.M.
Falling in love
is not always
a happily ever after story.
Most of the time,
it’s just once upon a time.
