Hurting Poem

I have been in a six year relationship and he still does not know what he means to me. I wrote this poem the saddest time of our lives. He lost a loved one and I was not able to comfort him. Every word in this poem is truly meant it's as if my heart was speaking all on its own. I dedicate this to all of those who have been lost in your own love.

Tears Of A Broken Heart

© Bianca Santamaria
I have given all my love to you, but what do I get in return?
A broken heart.
I have given you my heart, and you stomp on it like a doormat.
I have given you my youth and you took advantage of my un-experienced heart and played with my emotions.
I gave you all the trust, but you misused it.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and you proved everyone right.
I gave you my life and you killed me day by day.
I want to pull my aching heart and tear it piece by piece, So I no longer love you.
I want to loose my memory so I no longer think of you.
I want to go so far so I no longer have to see you.
I want to cry but I no longer have any more tears to fall down
my sad lonely face.
I want to sleep but my dreams haunt me with you in them.
I can’t seem to find a way out. What do I do?
I don’t want anyone to see this not even you.
How do I get out of this?
How do I stop this misery? How do solve this mystery?
I can’t seem to find anyone to make feel the way you do,
The way you look at me,
the way you say my name,
the sound of your voice when you tell me that you care.
I love you so much I think I’m going to die from this pain that haunts day and night.
How can forget you? If the only love I know is you.
How can I move on? If life is not the same with out you.
I want to brake free and move on but I think I’ll be doing something wrong.
I just have to close my eyes and let things fly and let the days pass me by.

  • I'm very inspired. This reminds me so much, of the guy I that I once used to call 'my love.' I could almost cry, It's amazing how this poetry can move you in that kind of way.

  • It reminds me so much of my ex husband and I. Even though we are divorced, we still go back and forth. He wants me one minute and breaks my heart the next. I still love him with all my heart, but it comes with a painful price. I'm afraid to move on, too. In fear that it may be the wrong choice. I love this poem.

  • I'm exactly in the same situation now, after 6 years of relationship recently found that there is another woman... I knew something was going on.. but still held on until he admitted that he is living with a woman for 2 years now... I can so much relate with the poem.... because the pain is still inside me..

  • I am in so much pain today, tomorrow it's my Birthday and today I found out that my husband, the only man I've ever slept with, the man I gave the best 18 years of my life to has a child with another woman and it was hard but I forgave him then today I found out that he's dating another woman..... How could I be so blind, I'm turning 34 years tomorrow and he's 2 years older than me. We have successful careers and expensive cars, a beautiful house and 2 daughters, we grew up in the dusty streets of Soweto together but today I found out that it was all a lie...... I've been crying all day hoping it was a dream but I love myself and know that he's not worth being my husband..... tomorrow (on my birthday) I'm meeting up whit a divorce lawyer ***crying*** I know that it shall pass

  • As I read this, I couldn't keep the tears inside. It is so sad when you truly love someone and give them your all because you sincerely believe that they love you just the same. Being in love with someone can be a dangerous thing, especially when he or she knows that you would do anything for them. at this point they start playing with your emotions and so, at the end, all you do is wonder...what did I do wrong?
    Just remember that everything happens for a reason and sooner or later that person will realize that you indeed loved him/her. With time the pain will fade away and YOU will find the person who will not only appreciate you, but will love you with the same passion you love them. “To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, but to be loved by the one you love is verything."

  • Once I was trying to find my life partner. I met some one after a year. He was nice I liked him. after we closed he was more nice to me. I loved him from the bottom of my heart. I trust him, I care ... after some times he went to US. He promised to back, I believed. He did not call me, no email, no post. I try to find him on Facebook. I couldn't find him. I heard from some one he was in jail. Now it's been two years, I am still in love & waiting for him. I tried everything as much as I can but nothing is changing. There is only one thing is left for me, to wait the will of God. Who knows maybe one day he may back. Every day I am crying. Crying is so nice b/c it bring out my bring in side to this world. When I cry I feel I am speaking in silence, I feel I am laughing in sadness. I feel like shining in darkness this all are just a feeling. The truth is for me .....peace
