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 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.

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 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.

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

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.

I Shouldn't Have Fallen In Love With You Poem

in Goodbye Love Poems

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

I'm sorry that I hurt you
And that I lied.
I'm sorry I can't be the one you want to hold at night.
I'm sorry that we argue
And fight.
I'm sorry that I fell in love with you;
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.

Poem About Longing For Love

in Lonely Poems

I'm sorry I love you as more than a friend,
But the love that I have doesn't come to an end.
You dwell in my thoughts, and to my mind I will keep
A love that's for you, a love I hide deep

I'm sorry I love you as more than a friend,
But the love that I have doesn't come to an end.
You dwell in my thoughts, and to my mind I will keep
A love that's for you, a love I hide deep
Your word has the power to tear me to shreds,
But my heart is what sinks, a feeling of dread.
The sight of you brings me down to my knees,
The slightest of touches, as strong as a breeze,
A breeze of love stale and cold,
For it is not to me that your heart has been sold.

Porm To Boy Who Broke My Heart

in Heartbreak Poems by Teens

You broke my heart
And won't repair it.
You took my love
and won't give it back.

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.

A Triolet Of Heartbreak
- By Ann D. Stevenson
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2021 with permission of the Author.
Losing someone you love is always heartbreaking, whether it's through death or the end of a relationship. I have chosen to write about it in the form of a triolet.

A triolet is a poem written in a set form consisting of eight lines with a rhyme scheme of only two rhyme endings and certain repeated lines. Specifically ABaAabAB - the capitals signify repeated lines, the other letters signify matching rhyme endings.

Losing Someone You Love

in Loss Poems

Why did you have to go away
and leave me with a broken heart.
I prayed and prayed that you would stay,
why did you have to go away.

Why did you have to go away
and leave me with a broken heart.
I prayed and prayed that you would stay,
why did you have to go away.
Now every day is dark and grey,
I never thought we'd be apart.
Why did you have to go away
and leave me with a broken heart.

You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us

in Hurting Poems

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 drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.

We could have been great together.
We could have made it.

What Healing Is Meant To Look Like
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2020 with permission of the Author.
I’ve been holding on to little fragments of you for a long time, because I could never bring myself to let you go all at once.

But deep down, I know I need to let go of these pieces. I can’t move on when I’m living next to these reminders of the people we were - the way we wrapped ourselves in each other. I don’t know what healing is meant to look like, but this feels like a good place to start.
