Heartache

Published: December 2020

I have had a succession of women in my life who were the wrong ones for my heart , each for different reasons. In the end they left me me scarred , scared , and weary of any who would venture near my broken heart. As I find myself having fallen for another and seeing her already drifting away , the old wounds open and I look for escape in the words of those who have turned the pages of the very same Bible of sorrow.

1. Love

Famous Poem
- By Pablo Neruda
in Famous Sad Love Poems

Because of you, in gardens of blossoming
Flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer
Remember your hands; how did your lips

Because of you, in gardens of blossoming
Flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer
Remember your hands; how did your lips
Feel on mine?

Because of you, I love the white statues
Drowsing in the parks, the white statues that
Have neither voice nor sight.

I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice;
I have forgotten your eyes.

Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to
My vague memory of you. I live with pain
That is like a wound; if you touch me, you will
Make to me an irreperable harm.

Your caresses enfold me, like climbing
Vines on melancholy walls.

I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to
Glimpse you in every window.

Because of you, the heady perfumes of
Summer pain me; because of you, I again
Seek out the signs that precipitate desires:
Shooting stars, falling objects.

2. May

Famous Poem
- By Sara Teasdale
in Famous Sad Love Poems

The wind is tossing the lilacs,
The new leaves laugh in the sun,
And the petals fall on the orchard wall,
But for me the spring is done.

The wind is tossing the lilacs,
The new leaves laugh in the sun,
And the petals fall on the orchard wall,
But for me the spring is done.

Beneath the apple blossoms
I go a wintry way,
For love that smiled in April
Is false to me in May.

3. Hold Me
- By Chula
- Published: January 2008
I'm Feeling Alone Poem

in Alone Poems

I'm hurt all the time.
I don't want to cry for the way I feel inside.
I just want someone to hold me.
I'm alone in the dark; please try to find me.

I'm hurt all the time.
I don't want to cry for the way I feel inside.
I just want someone to hold me.
I'm alone in the dark; please try to find me.
If no one cares, I don't see a point to go on.
Anyone find me! Anyone care!
I'm sorry, I just don't want to be alone anymore.
I feel unheard and unseen. Depressed and weak.
No one cares, and yet I'm always the sorry one.
Someone find me! I'm scared.
Please hold me until it all ends.
Just hold me; that's all I want.
I don't want to be alone in the dark.
Just hold me as I start to disappear from the light.
Just hold me as I start to cry.
Just hold me so I won't be alone inside.
Just hold me so I don't do something wrong.
Just hold me so tight, that for a moment I could feel the light....

I have never felt loved, and I feel like it will never get better. I just want to feel wanted. I always told myself I would not be the kind of teenager to sit on my bedroom floor silently...

Analysis of Form and Technique

My pain and misery fall from the sky
So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by.
Surrounded with memories of what could have been,
The hatred screams under my skin.

My pain and misery fall from the sky
So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by.
Surrounded with memories of what could have been,
The hatred screams under my skin.
Pulsing through my veins is the anger I feel.
Wounds break open as soon as they seal.
Darkness surrounds me with every step I take.
I manage a smile, but do you know it's a fake?
I laugh when people talk to me,
But inside I'm dying, wishing they could see
I'm as different inside as I am the same.
Wish they could see they're not to blame.
I know the truth, but it's locked in my heart,
And now more than ever, it's tearing me apart.

No One There To Help

in Alone Poems

I waited, and you didn't come.
I called, and you didn't answer.
I knocked, but you weren't home.
And I realized that I was alone.

I waited, and you didn't come.
I called, and you didn't answer.
I knocked, but you weren't home.
And I realized that I was alone.

I cried, but no one comforted me.
I screamed, but no one heard me.
I gave up and laid there.
Alone. Why was I always alone?

I hurt, but there was no help.
I begged, but I was ignored.
I laughed maniacally at my foolishness.
I knew I was alone.

I was always alone.
No one was there.
No matter how many times
I called knocked, cried, screamed...
I was alone...forever alone.

I was fake.
I was imaginary.
I was a pawn,
But most of all
I. Was. Alone.

6. My Sorrow's Song
- By Candace Nau
- Published: July 2008
Broken In Pain

in Hurting Poems

So here it goes,
My sorrow's song.
A song that's short
And not too long.

So here it goes,
My sorrow's song.
A song that's short
And not too long.
A silent pain you'll never feel,
A broken heart that'll never heal.
How do you kill a dying love?
One that you thought was sent from above.
One that brought so many lies and tears.
One that you swore would last through the years,
But now I lie here,
Broken in pain,
Clinging to life,
And whispering your name,
Now realizing you were never the one,
But now it's too late, 'cuz my song is done.

Poem About Loss Of Girlfriend

in Hurting Poems

I wish this world of darkness would come to an end.
I lost a girl, I lost a friend.
I'd give it all back if only I could.
I've said it a million times, I know I would.

I wish this world of darkness would come to an end.
I lost a girl, I lost a friend.
I'd give it all back if only I could.
I've said it a million times, I know I would.
I miss her more and more every day.
She's gone, and my world is dark and grey.
My life is a cloud of endless rain.
I wish I could escape the endless pain.
What's the point of living if she's gone?
There is no sun, there is no dawn
In my endless world of darkness...

8. Love Hurts

in Hurting Poems

Everyone says that love hurts,
But that's not true.
Loneliness hurts.
Rejection hurts.

Everyone says that love hurts,
But that's not true.
Loneliness hurts.
Rejection hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love.
But in reality love is the only thing in the world
That covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.
