I was never looking
for another half
to make me whole,
just someone
who was willing
to walk with me
no matter how far
I strayed.

Just Us Two
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
For all the hopeless romantics and eternal believers in love, empaths and dreamers, poetry lovers and soft souls. Never change - you bring a vital compassion to this arduous world.

in Passionate Love Poems

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.

Pull away the world
so that it is just us two.
Silence the chaos
inside and outside our heads.
Let us follow the purity
of our foolish hearts
if only for right now.
Search my eyes
for who we used to be.
And when you find us,
kiss my lips so hard
that I believe
the poetry is real again.

I Want To Tell You
- By Lorelei
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
in I Miss You Poems

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.

There’s so much I want to say to you,
words I buried in my mind
but when it’s time to sing the verses
the melodies come out wrong.

I want to tell you
that I still miss you
even though I know I shouldn’t.
I want to tell you
that I wish to hold you
even though I can’t.
I want to tell you
you are the one
even when you couldn’t be.

But most of all
I want to tell you
that I love you
and I never stopped

But maybe one day
you’d keep telling me, instead.

Being in a one-sided love situation is never good. Putting yourself on hold for an undetermined amount of time can put a person in a space that's hard to come back from. There's no easy way...

you deserve to be the hero

Even When; Especially When

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,

Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,

Even when your lover leaves you empty and begging,
you are still loved.
Even when you’ve tried and tried and failed and failed,
you are still worthy.
Even when;
especially when.

You Are All That I Want
- By Caroline White

in Sweet Love Poems

Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
a heart that’s been shattered

Give me you
tired and tattered
restless and weary
a heart that’s been shattered
Give me you
when you are less than tough
when you are not smiling
all your edges so rough
Give me you
when you can’t see the light
just open your heart
I will hold it so tight

Give me you.

You
are all
that I want

Trying To Balance Grief
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2021 with permission of the Author.
One of the biggest things I’m learning about grief is how it demands different things from you every day. Some days, you’re able to get a lot done. You’re able to smile and be fully present with people. Everything feels fully balanced and manageable...steady. But other days, even normal daily tasks feel impossible to balance. And despite your best efforts, you can’t do it all. You try and build your schedule to match the day before, but it wobbles and leans and comes crashing down at your feet.

Grief will demand different things of you every day. Some days will be harder than others, but please don’t be harder on yourself because of it. The harder days need the most kindness, the most support, the most gentleness. The harder days need the most grace. If today is a harder day, I’m praying with you. I’m hurting with you. I’m holding on to hope with you.

in Grief Poems

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up

Grief stacks
Itself up
Up
Up
As you try and balance
Your daily tasks
Your emotions
Your pain
The tower
Wobbles
As you try
To do everything
You normally do
Everything you
Normally can
But right now
You can’t
And it comes
All
The way
Down

And on Tuesdays you must look at

“I am worthy. I need to be here.
And I am grateful I am.
There is beauty in my life and
I will find it. There is strength

There is purpose in my path and
I will unravel it. There is magic
in who I am and I will
believe in it.”
And then go climb your mountains
for today. And go find some
spectacular views.

Learning To Let Go
- By Liz Newman
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Change Poems

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.

Letting go doesn’t
always look how you think it will.
Sometimes it happens all at once.
Sometimes it’s in phases.
Oftentimes it requires a few tries
and heartfelt goodbyes.
Even when it’s good for you,
letting go is hard on a heart.
But like the changing seasons,
we will learn to change too.
In time, in time,
In time…

Life Isn't Black And White
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Short Poems

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.

You can be unhappy and still be in love.
You can be in love and still walk away.
You can walk away and still feel the weight of loss.
You can feel the weight of loss and still stand tall.
You can stand tall and still be grieving.
You can be grieving and still find joy.
You can find joy and still miss what you had.
You can miss what you had and still long
for more.

I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that

I hate people who’ve hurt me
so you’ll never hear me say
I must love them harder.
I know that
people are cruel
and that
isolating myself will make me happy
I refuse to believe that
people do love me.
I’m ashamed of loving so deeply.
No longer can I say
I deserve abundant love.

now read that again,

sometimes I wonder
why life feels

sometimes I wonder
why life feels
so uphill most of the time.
but maybe
the mountains are rooting for us.
maybe they want us to see sights
we would never get to see without them.
because in that moment,
when life takes your breath away
for all her beauty, you are reborn.
and I don’t think there is anything
more perfect
in this world than a new beginning.

I Hope You Find Peace

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears

I hope you find peace in your battles
I hope you find light within the darkness
I hope you find comfort in your storm
I hope you find your smile within the tears
I hope your heart beats lighter
when it starts to feel heavy
I hope you find the kind of love that stays
I hope you find someone who welcomes your broken pieces home.

You're Better Off Without Me
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
I often picture what it would be like to see you again. To hear your voice, or feel the weight of your hand in mine. I rehearse what I'd say to you, whether or not I'd tell you about the poetry, how I'd reply if you asked me if I was happy, yet.

But the truth is I'll never tell you any of it. I won't call or find my way to your door. As much as I miss you, I know that you will want to love me - to pick up the pieces of me and hold them together, the way you always used to. And we'll end up back where we were, with you ignoring how much it hurt to try and love me - still giving even when there's nothing left for me to take.

If we're honest, we both know you're better off without me. If I really want you to be happy, then I have to accept that it means being far away from me. So I will love you from a distance, even if that means you believe the worst of me.

in Hurting Poems

I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed

I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed
phone calls
and played out
chance meetings
in my head.
And yet, I’ll never
tell you any of it.
Because I know
(deep down)
you’re better off
without me,
and I want you
to be happy,
whatever that means.

Let Them Miss You
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Moving On Poems

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
watch as it pulls the sun from the sky,
marvel at how easily you become that light.
Let them yearn to be your moon,
long for a chance to reflect the warmth you provide,
admire how you can be so vibrant and alive
without them beside you.

Let them miss you.
Let yourself learn how okay you are
on your own.

makes you feel the most
alive you’ve ever felt.
