I Tried So Hard

We were in love with each other for so long, but in the middle she left and got married. But after few years she came back with a son and said, "I want you and I'm divorced." Without thinking, I said, "Yes, I want you, too." I gave her a chance once again. We were happy, but after a year she stopped caring me and made me feel unsafe and fought with me. After many fights I still loved. In fact, I increased loving her more. But she couldn't care. And she relocated her work in Singapore. I see many changes in her, but I still care and love her. But one day she said, "I'm bored to chat with you every day." I had given her 2 months space so she could get well. In just 2 months she got another guy. I just wonder why she doesn't even think of our 11 years of love. She didn't even explain and just left me like she did first time. In this 11 years I never married and never had another girl. I just wait for her.

I like this poem so much. I'm in my 2nd year high school. I know I'm young, but I fell in love for a transferee in our school. The first time I saw him I thought I wouldn't even try to talk to that person because he looks weird, yet here I am wanting to hug him again, wanting to talk to him again. He said he loved me, and I believed it. He never even did anything for me. No efforts. All nothing. He keeps going close to my friend and he is so sweet to her. And then I knew he just used me. It hurts, yeah. I wanted to give up? Of course! But I couldn't. I always felt like if I let go of him someone is gonna take my place. Until now I'm still in love with him, so please send me your good lucks!

I didn't know this feeling at first, but now I know the feeling and I'm going through it. I was in love with this guy, I gave this guy all I have to prove myself to him but all he did was to pretend to love while he doesn't. It so sad to love while not knowing that you are loved in return. It taught me something about life, it thought me that in life some of us are doing things for the sake of love, we compromise and sacrifice for those we love while not knowing whether he/she loves you in return.......so I'd say this poem describes me. I tried so hard to prove my love to a guy.

I am 17 still in high school, I've already been through some tough boy trouble I shouldn't have gone through yet. High school is horrible people say such rude things makes me wonder who raised them. Anyways, there was this boy he is a grade older than me and I've heard vague stories about him but they didn't bother me. We talked to each other for about two months than we started dating. We dated for about a year on and off. I always knew he was a player but he said the sweetest thing to make me believe, he would constantly flirt with other girls and make fun of my flaws 24/7. He was embarrassed of me because of the false stories everyone has heard about me. He would always be worried I was cheating on him when I gave him my all and was so committed to him I would never do such a thing. In the first 3 moths of us, he cheated on me with his ex girlfriend that was the worst thing ever. So now we are over and within 2 days he's with someone else, this is so painful I love him so much more than he will ever come to know I can't get over the thought of someone else holding my baby boy.

So I'm only 15 and people may say I'm to young to love. But there was this guy earlier this year and we dated, I lived with him for 4 months, my so called best friend told him stupid stuff him and I was going through a rough time as it was I done everything for this boy that I possibly could and he done the same for me but my so called best friend took him from me. It's been almost 6 1/2 months and all I do is think about the boy I saw him in town the other day and all we done was kept looking back at each other like we knew we wanted to talk to each other but didn't. I'm so heart broken and can't move on and don't know what to do. I'm lost in this boy and can't get away.

I have a boyfriend it's been 5 years now. We have 2 kids I love him with my heart but he doesn't see that. I've been trying to show him how special he is but still he doesn't see that. He's accusing me of somethings, disrespecting me telling me things I don't like, he doesn't even support me with many things, if I ask money for something he will tell me face to face that he won't give me his money. If we are happy after 2 days he will be unhappy with no reason but fighting me I don't know what to do. I need advice.

I have a boyfriend, he is also my classmate, we are so close and love each other. We told and shared everything. he's a cheerful and adorable guy, but he is so easy to give up on something. He gives up on his score on school, he almost gives up on me, he gives up on everything. Everytime he fell down, I've tried to comfort and cheer him up, but he always ignore me and asks me to go. And now, I have one question on my mind. Does he realize that he still has me even if in his darkest hours?

There is guy I dated earlier this year, he told me he had a girlfriend but he is looking for a girl who is really committed into a serious relationship I fall for that, now he no longer bothers to call or text me to say "hi!" I gave this guy my whole heart and even now I still do love him and I'm waiting for him to come back.

I'm not heart broken I'm very bothered he asked for my heart to let go I'm happy I didn't. The love I have can't let go. I love hard I want him to understand I need a man not a child. No girls in the picture, me as a wife, mother, best friend etc. don't have time for silly games man up or go as you please everything you said you wouldn't do, you did. It was all a lie.

I love a girl. She lives in my locality. But she loves another guy. When I love her I don't know about it. I do everything for her. But she doesn't feel my emotions. She just neglected me. I can't sleep at night because I used to think about her. I cry alone but there was no one to hear it. Her hate push me inside the death. I hope one day she'll understand when I'll be no more. Because I love her so much. And I can't live without her.

I know how you feel I loved a guy for many years and then one night we were hanging out and we kissed. He then told me he loved me and now he doesn't talk to me or look at me. He has my heart and always will. To this day I still cry about him. :(

I have been with the love of my life for 2 years now. We were both adopted from Romania from different families and found out we lived a town away from each other. We have made so many memories but she has broken my heart many times and has also had sex with another guy at one point. How do you look at someone you love so much and think of all the good memories you've had together and everything you've ever talked about like getting Married. We even went furniture shopping that's how serious I was with her. We talked about baby names where we want to live and how comfortable I feel with her is ridiculous. So how could I look at her and tell myself, it's time to walk away. Even though she has broken my heart several times over I still want to marry her and I don't know if we do get married if I will keep getting hurt. Someone please help me if you can.

I'm in love with a beautiful woman, who has a 2 year old daughter. She calls me daddy and recently the father got visitation, so she had broke my heart because she didn't want to confuse her daughter with her having two father figures. They're both my world and I don't know what to do.

I was married for 5 years and my husband worked in South Africa. While he was away I got pregnant by my boyfriend. My husband was very devastated he loved me, trusted me but I ruined my life. My life is now miserable I just don't know how I can fix things. The father of my young son is ok but I want to fix things with my wedded hubby. We haven't divorced yet I broke his heart. He has given me all, how do I mend his heart?

I was with a woman for 14 years and we have a 13 year old daughter. When we separated I lived in my neighbors shed for 8 months trying to sort things out. One day she showed up with another man who said he would kill me if I carried on trying to save my family. I could not believe she did this to me and my heart is so broken now with how it all turned out. Life is so lonely now without them. Knowing that they do not love me anymore kills me every day. I long for them every day and always will.

Thank you for that poem. She just broke up with me. She doesn't know how I feel and I don't want her to know. Only because I don't want to cause her the same pain. "I'm living in the present my mind is on the past" Your poem helped a little. It helps to know that I'm not the only one broken by love

I loved a guy, I gave him my all we were about to get engaged, but it seems I was not good enough. Without my knowing he became engaged to another girl. They got married some years down the line and then they divorced. He came back begging me to take him back but I couldn't. He broke my heart and make a fool of me to my family and friends. I cried for so long.

I loved a girl very badly she used to stare at me we used to smile at each other. I have a lot of acne scars but she always gave me false hope saying looks don't matter. I was always there for her when she was low when she needed me. but in the end she just said I was not good enough for her. I am so broken up. I won't ever be even a friend with any girl.

I fell in love with a beautiful girl and spent nine months with her every minute that I could. She recently stopped calling me and then a few nights later I received a bunch of calls from her friends telling me that they were at a Birthday party and she was there introducing her fiancé. Everyone that called me, asked when we broke up. My whole world just crumbled. I loved someone so much and I will always wonder why and how she could do something like this....

I honestly about cried cause I just recently got left by a guy I thought was my entire world. He told me he loved me and cared about me and wanted to be with me, yet he had a girlfriend and just sort of set me aside when push came to shove. He only wanted one thing from me and I was just so blinded by love at the time that when he left I cried for so long and still am...

I gave my all to a girl. She was mean, callous, condescending and cold, quite often. But it didn't overshadow the good times in my mind. One day I confronted her about her actions and she broke up with me. Told me that to her, it was an ultimatum. She wanted to be close friends still. She'd come over, we'd talk, sometimes cuddle, always hugs. I kept giving my all, because after I told her I needed some time to heal, she broke down and begged me not to pull away. I kept giving my all. So she gets on Facebook and starts befriending guys and eventually she meets someone new. The start talking hot and heavy. Now, the phone calls have slowed down, the lies have begun, and everything has changed. I gave my all....just to have it thrown away. Hurting so badly right now.

was brutally attacked by a couple of guys who took away my innocence and left me bitter and sour towards every man. I dated a guy but we broke up because I couldn't let go of the past. he was hurt and still is and even though I do love him, I can't be with him because my heart is still imprisoned by the past. will I ever let go?

I know exactly how you feel. I gave this girl my all and she did too for a while, but that faded and I'm spent. I can't do it any more, but honestly I cannot bring myself to tell her. So I'm...
"Blinded by fear.
Drowning in doubt.
Struggling to be free.
Looking for a way out."
Thanks for posting. I hope we both find that way out.
