heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
For Better, For (Much, Much) Worse
After waiting years At last, they had found themselves In each others' arms ... Exchanging their vows They had both made promises

new year, same old me. new year, nothing's changed. still sitting alone in my bedroom; still fighting back the urge to shed a tear.

You, you let me down, Yeah, You, You left me on the ground, You, you left me bruised, Yeah, you. You told me not to make a sound.

You are a visitor. The bodies you travel through are as fluid to you as a river. We all watch you wade through the river, legs striding through water, knees lifting above the surface- it is almost effortless.
Peace of mind

My mind It cycles rapidly Apathy invading every crevice So nothingness is standing in the way of happiness And it's this very sentiment
Sweet NothingsPublished about a year ago in PoetsThe Reason People Leave
My whole life i’ve never been hurt so much by anyone. You were my best friend. At least you were supposed to be. What about all those hours we spent on the phone? It was only when YOU wanted to talk. Only on your terms. What about all the tears shed? They were yours. Only YOU cried to ME. You never let me cry to you. All the jokes? They were yours. I was never funny to you. But I should be thanking you. You taught me something important. You taught me the reason people leave. And its not because they can’t handle relationships well, not because they’re dealing with too much. Its because they’re selfish. YOU’RE selfish.
