The Person Behind Those Beautiful Brown Eyes
- By Ellie Nazza
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2015 with permission of the Author.
This is my poem about being betrayed by the one I loved and trusted so much; it made me suicidal and depressed.

in Betrayal Poems

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.

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.

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.

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
- 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.

Final Moments
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
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.

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.

He asked me if
I missed him

no. Even though

He asked me if
I missed him
and I told him

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.

You Have Shattered Every Memory Of Us
- By Jordan Byrnehouser
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2021 with permission of the Author.
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.

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.

I'm Sorry
- By Broken Inside

I wrote this poem after losing my best friend. Sadly, I fell in love with him, but he loved someone else, and I lost him in the end.

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.

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.

There was a girl that I loved dearly, but she loved another man.

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.

The Pain Of Goodbye
- By Madeline Matterson
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2015 with permission of the Author.
So many times I've had to say goodbye, and I know from experience that the person may be gone, but the pain of goodbye stays.

Poem About The Goodbye That Hurts Too Much To Say

in Goodbye Love Poems

I could fill the oceans with the tears I've cried
Or cover the entire earth with blankets of failed tries.
Countless times what I thought was truth became a lie.
Everything is falling apart, and I'm sick of asking why.

I could fill the oceans with the tears I've cried
Or cover the entire earth with blankets of failed tries.
Countless times what I thought was truth became a lie.
Everything is falling apart, and I'm sick of asking why.
It gets so bad, to the point where I just want to die,
But all of this is nothing compared to the pain of goodbye.
What's the point of believing if you could never fly?
I'm a bird with clipped wings, a well that has run dry,
I'm an undone knot with ends too loose to tie,
But still, nothing compares to the endless pain of goodbye.

Drowning
- By Amy O Connor
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2020 with permission of the Author.
This poem comes from Amy O Connor's poetry book, A Beautiful Complexity. The poem explores the overwhelming and sometimes suffocating nature of intense emotions, particularly in the context of love and heartbreak. The poet describes the waves of their feelings for someone and how these waves can suddenly pull them under and leave them gasping for air, unable to escape the depths of their emotions. The poem portrays a sense of powerlessness in the face of strong feelings and the struggle to stay afloat amidst the turmoil.

The Waves Of Love: A Poem Of Heartbreak And Turmoil

in Short Poems

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.
But when I least expect it.
When life seems to be
a quiet stream of continuity.
They come to disrupt.
So forceful they pull me under,
so that I am drowning and once again,
can’t catch my breath.

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.

What Love Can Mean

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.

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

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.

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.

Missing You
- By Jaira N. Biel
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2016 with permission of the Author.
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

in I Miss You Poems

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

Every time I think of 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.
