This is about my first love that I gave up when I went into the service. I never stopped loving her.

Poem About Missing My High School Sweetheart

in Hurting Poems

As I sit and ponder the day away.
I remember the young love I gave away.
I searched for a love like I left behind,
Too young to realize she was one of a kind.

As I sit and ponder the day away.
I remember the young love I gave away.
I searched for a love like I left behind,
Too young to realize she was one of a kind.

Like a ship in the night,
She sailed away.
The hurt I felt
I still feel today.

For years I walked along a lonely shore,
Dreaming of the eyes I'll see no more.
The love I felt, I still feel today
For the love of my life that I gave away.

The hardest thing is losing the love you have.

I No Longer Feel Whole

in Heartbreak Poems

Lord, hear my prayer oh so dear.
My heart is aching; my mind isn't clear.
My love has left me; it hurts my soul.
Without that love, I don't feel whole.

In The Shadows
- By Holly A. Blackwell
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016 with permission of the Author.
I met a boy a while back, and I fell in love with him. He left university and we stayed in contact, but then he suddenly cut me off and made me feel worthless. The hardest part of all this is that, although it was hard to move on from him, when I was moving on, he returns and I'm back to loving him, even though he doesn't care. I wanted to write this for me, to express my feelings and help the healing process.

Poem About Being Left In The Shadows

in Heartbreak Poems

You left me in the shadows, alone in the dark.
I was left crying and upset the day you broke my heart.
I tried to move on and meet someone new,
But when I was in their arms, I wished it was you.

You left me in the shadows, alone in the dark.
I was left crying and upset the day you broke my heart.
I tried to move on and meet someone new,
But when I was in their arms, I wished it was you.
I tried and tried to push my feelings aside,
But my feelings for you I couldn't hide.
Time passed, and I changed and grew.
I matured and moved on from the person you knew.
I started to pick myself up, I saw the light,
Until I saw you that Saturday night.
For you played with heart like you did before,
Made me feel like we could be more,
But you left my life, like you did before.
No cares in the world when you walked through that door,
So now I'm in the shadows, alone in the dark,
Now crying and upset as you've broken my heart.

What Love Can Mean
- By Melanie Edwards
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.
This poem is about learning the meaning of love through good-bye. Sometimes you have to face good-bye because it is what is best for the one you truly love.

Love's Journey: Poem Finding Meaning In Letting Go

in Goodbye Love Poems

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.

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.

My Memories
- By Graham Chaplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2016 with permission of the Author.
This poem is about the loss of a girl I loved so very much when I was young. Sadly, I let her slip away because I could not believe that I was worthy of her. Now many years later, I feel that I must pay tribute to that love.

Poem About Wanting One More Day With You

in Hurting Poems

My memories are sacred of the you I used to know.
I remember all the places where you and I would go.

Time has made me older, and life has made me old.

My memories are sacred of the you I used to know.
I remember all the places where you and I would go.

Time has made me older, and life has made me old.
My bones are thin and brittle; my body feels the cold.

Days when I was younger and warmer in the sun,
Days when you were with me, I was the chosen one.

Years went rolling past us, but I lost you along the way.
I would give all my tomorrows for just one yesterday.

He Is Hurting Too
- By Poetrebelunderground
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2018 with permission of the Author.
Sometimes when a guy and a girl break up, most of the concern goes toward the girl. Everyone sees that she is in pain and she's hurt. The purpose of this poem is to point out that everyone in the relationship has been affected. The guy hurts, too. He wants people to see that he is drowning while everyone is throwing her a life rope.

A Guy Also Hurts During A Breakup

in Breaking Up Poems

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 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.

You Used Me
- By Ellia Keil
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011 with permission of the Author.
This poem is based on how a guy used me just to get his first kiss. He made me feel horrible. I never really felt love, and I thought he would show it to me, but he didn't... so apparently, used is all I'll ever be.

in Heartbreak Poems

You used me.
I thought you were the key,
But the truth is that you used me,
So now I will never be free.

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 song.

Now I lay here in a crumpled mess,
Now feeling totally -less.
You used me,
And used is all I'll ever be.

This poem comes from the pain of losing a girlfriend. When the person you love leaves, your whole world turns upside down, making it feel like you will constantly live in darkness.

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...

I Hoped
- By MarcoKirstein
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2018 with permission of the Author.
Throughout life we meet many people. They are people who will become a friend, enemy, someone who will be in your life for a short while, or someone who will mean the world to you. The only problem is sometimes we put them in the wrong category. I met this girl, and it felt like she could be the one, so I put all my effort into making things work, but just like that, she slipped out of my life. I was broken down, and all I have left is hope, hope to meet the right one.

Losing Someone Special In Your Life Poem

in Hurting Poems

I hoped you'd be my last,
but you changed very fast.

I tried to be strong,

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.

Have you ever had a final moment with someone that you wish you could change?

in Breaking Up Poems

It wrecks me, that last moment
that played out so wrong.
Our hopeless eyes locked
just a few seconds too long.

to ask me to stay.
And your eyes welled up

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.

Fixing A Broken Heart
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
I can't tell you about healing. But I can tell you about moving forward; about not standing still and hoping the fires behind you don't reach you. Some days there is bravery in just moving your feet, especially when you have no idea where it is you're meant to be going.

I can’t tell you
how to fix
a broken heart,
but I can tell you

I can’t tell you
how to fix
a broken heart,

which direction to go,
bravery is putting
one foot in front
of the other
anyway.

I Shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With You Poem

I'm sorry I can't be the one you want to hold at night.
I'm sorry that we argue

I knew it wasn't right.
I sit here and know I'll be all right,
But I can't help but think of you
On these long sleepless nights.

The Person Behind Those Beautiful Brown Eyes

This is my poem about being betrayed by the one I loved and trusted so much; it made me suicidal and depressed.

I trusted you,

I didn't know that behind those beautiful brown eyes
was a person capable of telling all these lies.

I trusted you,

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.

Voice Of My Aching Heart

Company of certain people in life makes you feel complete and happy, but separation from them brings pain and frustration. This poem covers emotions generated from such situations.

Your Presence Makes Me Feel Complete

in I Miss You Poems

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.

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.

Hi, I was a teenager in love when I wrote this. I wrote a lot of poems. It helped get that emotion out. Not everyone we fall in love with is meant to stay. I have 2 kids and a loving boyfriend. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm very blessed, thank the Lord. But the first time I fell in love is always deep within.

Poem About The One Who Got Away

Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.

Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.

Every time I think of you

But then I realized nothing is the same.

Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.
