It is a terrifying thing

It is a terrifying thing
to watch love
walk in your direction
when you believe
you are not ready
to receive it.

In the same manner,

it is quite terrifying
watching love
walk away from you
when you are not yet ready
to let go.

I Hope You Find Peace
- By Lorelei
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Poems about Life Struggles

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.

Love Over Time

in Short Love Poems

In cracked skin
and calloused hands
morning light
and greying hair

In cracked skin
and calloused hands
morning light
and greying hair
in memories
of the first touch
and the taste of lips
I love you here
I loved you there
I love you now
I loved you then
time will never be a friend
but our love will never end

The Dark Days Will Pass

in Short Poems

There will be dark days,
when you feel alone
with your aching heart
but that doesn’t mean

There will be dark days,
when you feel alone
with your aching heart
but that doesn’t mean

The sun will always
peer through the clouds.
Let its light show you
the love you have forgotten.

Just Tell Me You Don't Love Me
- By Lauren Bowman
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
in Confused about Love Poems

Just tell me you don’t love me;
I can live with that.
I can acknowledge an ending when I see a period
firmly in place,

Just tell me you don’t love me;
I can live with that.
I can acknowledge an ending when I see a period
firmly in place,
but you won’t do that, will you?
No, you’ll let me down easy.
You’ll hold my hand, and look into my eyes,
and use one of those continuing lines,
I want you, but…

Don’t you know that but stands like a door
without a handle?
But looks like fresh cut flowers we pretend
aren’t already dying.
But feels like the false hope you hand me before
you walk away.

I like this one very much. Holding on to false hope will lead to real hopelessness. It takes a special talent to recognize when it's time to let go, and it takes courage to do it.

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.

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.

You
- By Leo Christopher
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020 with permission of the Author.
This short and sweet poem is about the search for true love and how it feels to finally find it. The poet describes their significant other as the one they've been searching for, the one they've been chasing after, and the one who has been the answer to all their hopes and dreams. The poem is a celebration of the deep connection between two people who have found each other and how they are now intimately connected.

Chasing After You - A Short Love Poem Of Longing And Desire

in Short Love Poems

You are
what I’ve been
searching for,
chasing after,

You are
what I’ve been
searching for,
chasing after,
longing to find,
every star,
moonbeam
and dream,
all of every thing
so infinitely far away
and yet so intimately
here in my arms.

The Little Things Mean More Than Anything
- By Gemma Troy
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2021 with permission of the Author.
in Meaningful Poems

It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures

It’s the little things
isn’t it
that mean more than anything
and the simple pleasures
that make a heart beat
it’s the smell of a flower
and a deserted beach
that fills lungs
and makes pain obsolete
it’s the sky and an ocean
and the touch of someone’s skin
that turns the world upside down
and makes it worth living

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.

Feeling exhausted with all the turbulence.

I see you, darling.
Holding on to your hope with both hands.
Feeling exhausted with all the turbulence.
But not letting go.
Shedding and bending
and growing and trying. So much trying.
And you are right,
your old life is a bad fit for you now.
There is more for you out there.
There is more for you inside too.
Keep holding on to your hope.
The world needs more of that right now.

Slow Down

in Inspirational Poems

slow down when your world

when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life

slow down when your world
is spinning too fast
when day and night are stuck in dusk
make sure to enjoy life
soak in the sunshine
admire the moonlight
witness how the clouds gather
and disperse
how the wind chases the leaves
across the street
treasure the little moments
that world will still spin
but you won’t fall off for taking
a well-deserved break

I Am Worthy

I wanted to share my current mantra with you all, with the hope that it might help you feel worthy + mindful today. The world is heavy, but we do not have to carry it all at one time, and despite all of the hard decisions and weight of the day to day, you are doing your best, and that IS enough.

in Inspirational Poems

I am worthy. There is nothing
that can or will happen today that
could convince me otherwise.

Hold Tightly To Your Smile
- By Ashleigh Rayl
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
This is an untitled poem from "The Soul" section of Ashleigh's new published poetry book, A Beautiful Difference.

in Hope Poems

You get through the bad days
because you have no other choice.
There is nothing else you can do
but hold tightly to your smile

You get through the bad days
because you have no other choice.
There is nothing else you can do
but hold tightly to your smile
and try to stay positive.
Focus on finding happiness in the little things,
and making small achievable goals
for yourself to feel purposeful.
To constantly remind yourself
that it could be worse
to make yourself feel better.
Giving up is not an option.
Crying all day is not an option.
Losing yourself is not an option.
You have to remember that
it is going to be ok.
It always is eventually.
You got this.
