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 met this boy eight years ago, in middle school. We had all our classes together, and we talked and gave each other challenging math problems when we'd get bored in class and just be super...

Somewhere between
hello and goodbye
a whole life happened.
And now, I am left to wonder

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.
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.
This 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.

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.
The sky and the winds howl. Days go by and my love can't be found. Wanting just one more kiss one more smile and one more scent. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months turn...
I thought you were my everything.
I thought you were what I longed for.

You used me.
I thought you were the key,
But the truth is that you used me,
So now I will never be free.
The 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...
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.
Missing you is like a day without light
or a rose without petals.
Every time I think of you
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.
