21. Final Moments
It wrecks me, that last moment
that played out so wrong.
Our hopeless eyes locked
just a few seconds too long.
And my eyes begged yours
to ask me to stay.
And your eyes welled up
as you walked away.
Featured Shared StoryShort but powerful. My favorite kind. This poem shows what can happen when two people who can't be together (for whatever reason) don't want to be apart.

22. Just The End
I regret the end.
The way we couldn't
leave one another
without wounds.
The way we made
it seem as if
all the love we shared
was wasted time.
Featured Shared StoryWow! Good job. Sometimes hindsight will have us saying "What if?" And in the final review of an ended relationship, there may have been something else we could have done to make things work...

23. Reality
Just saying your name makes me realize
how much meaning you add to my life.
I watch your actions every day
and long to hold and kiss you when I'm awake,
but reality dawns a rainy day,
a world of fantasy and dismay.
In my dreams I make you mine.
I hold you 'til the end of time,
but when I awake to find that you're not there,
my world is full of sorrow and despair,
and reality, like a rushing wind, destroys my hope,
my everything.Featured Shared StoryYounger days, softer hearts, loving Eyes. You and I were so in love with each other. We wanted our love to last for eternity, but I left. I loved you childishly. I broke your heart so many...

24. You Used Me
You used me.
I thought you were the key,
But the truth is that you used me,
So now I will never be free.
I thought you loved me,
But I was totally wrong,
I thought you were my forever,
I thought you were my song.
Now I lay here in a crumpled mess,
Now feeling totally -less.
You used me,
And used is all I'll ever be.Featured Shared StoryThe person I loved lied to me. He moved so fast. His first "I love you" was only a week in. I should have seen it coming, but I was dumb, insecure, and so thrilled that he cared for me back...

25. What Love Can Mean
How can I let go of you, the one who holds my heart?
We loved being together; now we cry as we're apart.
I turn and look one last time, as I slowly walk away.
Holding out your hands, you quietly asked me to stay.
I gently touch your hands, as I whisper, "I must go,
You're forever in my heart, I hope you'll always know."
As we kiss one last time, it seems I'm lost in a dream,
For our good-bye has shown me what love can mean.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

26. Heartbroken
You broke my heart
And won't repair it.
You took my love
and won't give it back.
You made me feel
and never did.
You made me have hope
and you gave up.
My heart is broken.
You gave me good times,
You gave me bad times,
You let me fall for you,
You let me fall in love,
And you let go of me,
And you let me have my heart broken.Featured Shared Storyi felt the same way you did 8 years ago, as I too loved her with my whole heart. Now I live alone and have been this way for almost 10 years now. I have never fallen in love since then, as I...

27. Missing You
Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.
Every time I think of you
My days grow shorter,
My heart gets weaker,
and my love grows stronger.
I had a dream that everything was perfect,
But then I realized nothing is the same.
Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

28. I Thought Wrong
I thought you were my everything.
I thought you were what I longed for.
I thought you loved me.
I thought wrong.
I thought you cared for me.
I thought you made me belong.
I thought you wanted me.
I thought wrong.
So as I lay down,
thinking about how I was wrong,
I just kept on desperately wishing...
hopefully that, too, was wrong.
Featured Shared StoryFrom a personal standpoint as an older person (51), the words, "I was wrong," come into play more than I would like. The rethinking of everything is sometimes worse than the original event. ...

29. He Is Hurting Too
He's tired of the pain.
He's tired of every lie.
He's tired of the countless nights
When all he does is cry.
He's pretending not to care.
He said that he is fine,
But really he is hoping
Someone will read his mind.
Everyone's sad for her;
No one knows what he's going through,
And not even his friends can see
That he is hurting too.Featured Shared StoryThis poem makes an important point. Often we think in a breakup there's only one hurt heart, but in reality, both people could be hurting. But that might mean they should not have ended it.

30. The Person Behind Those Beautiful Brown Eyes
I trusted you,
when you told me it wasn't true.
I didn't know that behind those beautiful brown eyes
was a person capable of telling all these lies.
Those beautiful brown eyes soon turned to Satan's red,
as I realized you were fake one night as I lay in bed.
The person behind those beautiful brown eyes
made me suicidal with all the lies they told,
leaving my heart beaten and cold.
The person behind those beautiful brown eyes
left without a sound,
leaving me lost, waiting to be found.
Featured Shared StoryBest friend's before anything, or so I thought. How could you pretend to love me? Was the urge that much? How messed up do you have to be to sleep with your best friend, knowing it...

32. I Hoped
I hoped you'd be my last,
but you changed very fast.
I tried to be strong,
but I don't know what went wrong.
I tried and tried, yet I failed.
You still left and set sail.
All we had turned to dust
while my heart started to rust.Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

33. Voice Of My Aching Heart
I have always felt alone except when with you.
This is the voice of my aching heart and believe it's true.
You showered your love on me for a very short duration.
I don't know how I will handle this frustrating separation.
Your memories always flow in my mind and bloodstream.
Your sight immediately brings on my face a happiness gleam.
True love has the power to conquer all the inhibitions.
One enjoys his life journey under all conditions.
Voice of my aching heart will never go in vain.
Clouds of love in my stressed life will for sure once again rain.
Unfulfilled desires of life will then give me no more troubles,
Whether I achieve something great or just get reduced to rubble.Featured Shared StoryThis poem really spoke to me because it describes what I am going through right now. I loved it so much! Each line spoke into my soul, telling me to say it in my mind when i'm near him.

34. Darkness
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...Featured Shared StoryNo Stories yet, You can be the first!

35. You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us
You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.
You have shattered every memory of us,
Like glass, touching it I risk hurting every time.
You have burned any future of us,
Only left ashes of what could have been.
We could have been great together.
We could have made it.
Featured Shared StoryThe hard truth of having one too many last changes. Sometime there is no coming back from crossing the line. We may not be able to fix what we broke, but learning from it can help prevent us...

37. He Asked Me If I Missed Him
He asked me if
I missed him
and I told him
no. Even though
my heart called
me a liar,
I could not give
the man who left
and took everything,
any more of me.
Not my feelings,
my memories,
or my regrets.
Featured Shared StoryRecovery can be the hardest thing we do, but it's always worth it.

38. Fixing A Broken Heart
I can’t tell you
how to fix
a broken heart,
but I can tell you
the importance
of keeping moving.
I can tell you
that even when
you have no idea
which direction to go,
bravery is putting
one foot in front
of the other
anyway.Featured Shared StoryI like it. Those of us who have ever been in love or thought we were in love, know what it's like to have our heart broken. But I agree that time moves on. Not all love leads to heartbreak....
