heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
The Pain of Goodbye
Love was once a flame that burned bright, A passion that shone like stars in the night, But now, it's a fire that's dwindled to ash, A love that's lost, a dream that's turned to trash. We started off strong, with a love that was pure, A love that we thought would always endure, But slowly and surely, it began to fade, Until the love we knew was but a charade. Our days became dull, our nights were long, The love that we shared was no longer strong, We tried to hold on, to rekindle the flame, But the love that we knew was never the same. We said our goodbyes, with tears in our eyes, The pain that we felt was too much to disguise, Our hearts were broken, our souls were shattered, The love that we shared was all that mattered. Now, we walk separate paths, with memories in tow, The love that we shared, we'll never truly know, We'll always wonder, what could have been, If the love that we lost, we could have somehow redeemed. But sometimes, love fades away, and it's time to move on, To find a love that's true, a love that'll never be gone, And though our hearts may ache, and our souls may be sore, We'll find a love that'll be worth fighting for.

The Untold Wishes Of a Spirit
In the realm of the unseen,I wander free,My wishes remain unheard,My desires unfulfilled, a tragedy.I long to touch the earth,To feel the warmth of the sun,To dance in the pouring rain,And run and run and run.I wish to whisper secrets,In the ears of the living,To guide them through their struggles,And offer hope and forgiving.But alas, I cannot interact,With the world I yearn to touch,A mere observer, I remain,A ghostly figure, without much.My wishes remain but dreams,My powers, mere illusions,A spirit trapped in limbo,Yearning for a resolution.So I linger, in the in-between,Hoping for a chance to break free,To fulfill my wishes and desires,And be who I truly long to be.But until that day arrives,I remain in sorrow,For I see the world passing by,And wonder what I could borrow.I see the joy and the pain,The love and the heartache,And wish I could intervene,And change the course of fate.I long to bring peace and calm,To ease the burden of the mind,To lift the weight of the world,And leave its troubles behind.But I am powerless,Unable to grasp or to touch,My wishes are but fleeting thoughts,Fading away, like a whispering hush.And so I wait, in the shadows,Hoping for a glimmer of light,A sign of hope and redemption,A chance to take flight.For my wishes are not meant to be ignored,For they carry the essence of life,The love, the hope, and the reward.

The touch of her Presence
The touch of her presence lingers on,Though she's gone and I am alone.Her absence echoes through the night,A haunting refrain of lost delight.I wander through the empty halls,Where once her laughter filled the walls.But now there's silence, cold and stark,A void that grows within my heart.I close my eyes and see her face,The curve of her smile, the warmth of her embrace.But when I reach out, she's not there,And all that's left is empty air.The memories we shared, they haunt me still,A bittersweet reminder of what we once fulfilled.But now those moments are just echoes in time,A distant memory of a love once so divine.The pain of loss is like a knife,That cuts through my heart and steals my life.I try to move on, but I am bound,To a love that's lost and can't be found.So I'll keep her memory close to me,And cherish the moments we once did see.But as the years go by and the world moves on,I'll be left here, alone and forlorn.The touch of her presence, it still remains,A gentle reminder of all our pains.But even in the darkness of my despair,I know that her love will always be there.

Grief's Long Shadow
In the quiet of the night,When darkness falls like a shroud,I feel the weight of grief descend,And hear its mournful sound.It creeps into my heart and soul,And casts a shadow long and deep,A constant reminder of what's lost,And what I cannot keep.Memories flood my mind,Of days that once were bright,Of laughter, love, and joy abound,Now dimmed by sorrow's blight.The tears they flow like rivers wide,As I long for what's no more,And in the silence of my grief,I feel my heart implore.Why must life be so fleeting,Why must love be so brief,Why must death steal away those we love,Leaving us with only grief.The pain it never fades away,No matter how much time has passed,It lingers on, a constant ache,A wound that cannot be masked.And so I live with grief's long shadow,A companion to my soul,A reminder of what's been lost,And what I cannot control.But though the darkness seems unending,And the sadness too hard to bear,I hold on to the hope that one day,The sun will shine again, bright and fair.And in that moment, though the grief remains,I'll find a way to carry on,For life is meant to be lived and loved,Even when grief's long shadow's drawn.
