You Took It All

The tears I have cried over you would fill a bucket. I did things against my beliefs because you wanted me to. At your feet I laid everything; my virtue, my pride, my heart, my love and you took it all. Then you left me a heartbroken wreck, inconsolable and hating myself. E.Y.

I was born the day you kissed me,
died the day you left me,
but lived for the time that you loved me.
Anju

It’s Not My Fault

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.

An Ocean of Regret

My love for you has lasted well after the happy days when you and me were ‘we’. I lost you a long time ago, but my heart still yearns for you and refuses to let go. Why couldn’t I love you then like I do now? Realizing what I had once it’s gone is life in an ocean of regret. G.L.

She’s somewhere in the sunlight strong,
Her tears are in the falling rain,
She calls me in the wind’s soft song,
And with the flowers she comes again.
Yon bird is but her messenger,
The moon is but her silver car;
Yea! sun and moon are sent by her,
And every wistful waiting star.
Song” by English author Richard Le Gallienne

A Pretty Girl

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.

I’m Just As Responsible

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

Memories that Refuse To Go Away

In the fireplace I burned all the cards, notes and keepsakes of us I could find. The few still scattered through my things are now each rediscovered as a greatly cherished treasure. All I have of our time are those scraps and a head full of memories that refuse to go away. J.R.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J.R.R. Tolkien

Excuse Me for Caring

Excuse me for caring about you. Even though we didn’t have the best relationship at the time, I still loved you enough to worry. Now you’ve turned it on me and called me screwed up and neurotic. Hold a mirror up. That’s actually a description of you! S.S.


You took my love, you broke my heart
You took my smile, and tore it apart
You left me crying down on the floor
The funny thing is, I still want more
If only you loved me like I wanted you to
But you tricked me into loving you
You tore me apart, you broke my heart
From “You Broke My Heart” by Alexandra Burke

Like Salt Into an Unhealed Wound

You being gone is difficult every day, but most challenging on holidays. When others are celebrating as couples and families, I only want to be alone. That we had such great times throws memory like salt into an unhealed wound. Oh, how I miss you my darling. S.L.

Taken from “The Loss of Love” by Countee Cullen
All through an empty place I go,
And find her not in any room;
The candles and the lamps I light
Go down before a wind of gloom.
Thick-spraddled lies the dust about,
A fit, sad place to write her name
Or draw her face the way she looked
That legendary night she came.

Black is Now My Shadow

You cheated on me with my best friend! Together you shattered me, broke my heart, crushed my soul and destroyed my ability to trust. I thought “you” were the “one” and she was “my best friend forever”. How could you?! I loved you both and what you did is unforgivable! A.P.


You throw me aside like a piece of garbage.
You destroyed my heart, my soul.
You left me only a piece of emotion.
You don’t notice me though I walk right past.
Black is now my shadow, my face and my shade.
I am and forever an outcast, a castaway.
Taken from Cast Away by Tayla

I Was Too Late

The truth hurts, so I lied. “I think we need a break. I love you but just need some space. We’ll be back together soon.” I thought that was the best way of letting you down easy. Months passed. I never called. Then realizing my mistake and calling, I found out I was too late. R.B.

So many times I thought of that day,
When you held my hand
And I walked away.
The pain in your eyes burned through me then
When I close my eyes now, I see it again.
A love so young, so unbridled and raw
Being trapped and confused was all that I saw.
How could I know what I feel today
When I closed the door on your heart
And walked away?
