Moving On Poems - Page 2

Moving on was
never meant to be easy.
It will hurt, it will be painful,
it will be exhausting,
but it will always be
worth it.

There is a time to love
And a time to forget
A time to get rid of
And a time to close set

Say goodbye but then say hello
Forget but never regret
Pick up the broken pieces but leave them unset
Feel the pain but let it go
Take a new step and a new path will grow

I've loved
I've lost
I've hated
And I've found

My world goes round and round
But I don't hold on to what has passed
It's better to just enjoy it while it lasts
I just let the memories become unwound

I know what I've done and whom I've loved
I know who I am and what I've become
I'm glad I met you and all those moments we shared
But they're memories now that we both share.

The looks, the heat
Every smile, so sour, so sweet.
I had known you made me complete.
Everything I needed, I never wanted more,
Yet every time, I was run down straight to the core.
Every kiss, every step, every dance on the floor.
Everything was nothing. When you left me...out that door.
Our life, our plans, our future, in your hands.
Like a stab or a wound, I'll get better...if I can.
I know it's not the same, forever is the blame.
I tried so hard, for one who wanted more, for someone's heart
Who won't be allowed to be tamed.
It was the best, a love-never small but when one
Leaves the other, the best will fall.
Let the tears drop. Let the feelings fly.
Because at least in public, I will not cry.
My heart still beats, locked in your chest.
It's pitiful, sad, but I love you, dear traitor.
If you can stay, you can trample my heart, but don't ever go away.
But if not, you're gone, I don't expect less,
But if it's true just lay with me and rest.
Help me rebuild me
Out of whatever's left.

What the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve for...
But when the truth comes out, it will always hurt more.
Blinded by love, I failed to see how much of a jerk
You really were to me.
Perhaps too young, too crazy and free.
I guess I will never understand why you did that to me.
They say if you love somebody then you should set them free.
As you never came back, I think it was meant to be.
I am not bitter or angry anymore; in fact, my life has been better
Since you walked out the door.
I thank you for the gift you gave to me ,
A very special treasure, it truly is a pleasure.
I gave you a chance; in fact, I gave you so many,
But you couldn't be bothered to even spend a penny.
The door was still open, but nobody came.
I should have known it would still be the same.
It is not my place to play God with life,
But if you don't make the effort, you're not worth the strife.
Perhaps one day you might make the call, to make the wrongs right
And not start a fight.
I hope by then it's not too late, but I suppose I can't change fate.
I would like to think we are at peace with each other.
At one point in time you were my finest lover.
Some people just aren't meant to be together, but that doesn't mean
You are lonely forever.
Somewhere there is someone who dreams of your smile
And finds in your presence that life is worthwhile.
So when you are lonely, remember it's true,
Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.

Only seconds
to fall in love,
to be immersed,
to want someone.

Only seconds
to hold a hand,
to be taken away
to an exhilarating land.

Only seconds
to kiss their lips,
to be elated,
to be in bliss.

Only seconds
to fall for a friend...

But only seconds
for it all to end.

The intentions are real
But the truth is untold,
Patiently awaiting the lies to unfold.
Her heart shatters with the thought of his touch.
How could she let him control her this much?
She holds on to a memory of how it used to be.
Tempted by hatred, will she always grieve
For that man, just a child inside.
He'll always have a pull on her soul
And a place to reside.
She says that it is over
That this is really it this time.
Her life is torn apart and
Her heart is in a bind.
Patiently waiting for those feelings to fade away,
It makes it harder when he crosses her mind every day.
His sarcasm breaks the silence.
Her heart follows it to the floor.
Her body feels overwhelmed
When he walks through the door.
She shouldn't still feel this way.
She shouldn't still care.
After all those times she needed him
Why wasn't he ever there?
But she is the one who called it off,
The relationship made of glass,
As fragile as a porcelain doll.
Was it really meant to last?!

You passed my life
Soft, gentle, and unpredictable
Like a floating cloud

You had my heart
Fast, tight, and passionate
Like we were meant to be together

You said goodbye
Silent, cold, and cruel
Like summer never comes back

You walked away
Dark, painful, and lonely
Like the world covered with black

These teardrops beside me flow,
From a quiet, happy, thankful soul.
The years taking their expensive toll,
Her beautiful smile a grand seed to sow.

She lowers her head to try and sleep,
But thoughts of the past run long and deep,
Attempting to make its victim weak.
Her memory only shows the harsh and bleak.

She truly wants to clear her mind,
However, she cannot erase the passing time.
Wisdom would implore her to leave it behind.
Therefore, she could enter a sleep so sublime.

Alas, this poor lass is wide awake,
Only regret plagues her mental state.
She never learns from any prior mistake.
Thus, the smile she forces is for her own sanity's sake.

We've connected through times of joy
Even through times of pain
I can see right through your show and
Unfortunately, I have to let you know
That you are the one for me
You have and will always be

I've seen the way you look at me
And although I may turn with chagrin
I'll never be able to show you
Just the way I feel
I know that one day I will be free
From this feeling of regret and sorrow
But for now, all I have to say is

My life will move on today
With or without you...will you stay
If I beg you, don't leave
Will you still be there for me
And if I should choose to let you see
You have and will always be
The only one for me

Someday down the line
Maybe one day I'll let you in
It's been the hardest thing for me
To feel this way and pretend
But maybe one day if there's a chance
You'll see exactly what I saw
That I am the one you need
For now, I just want to be free

You have to be hurt to feel pain
You have to feel dryness to feel rain
You have to walk to be able to run
You have to feel rain to feel sun
You have to dance to be able to stop
You have to stand to be able to drop
You have to be born to be able to grow
You have to have water to have snow
You have to be on the ground to go above
You have to feel hate to be able to feel love.

The stars above keep reminding me
Of the times that we spent,
But the memories that we share
Have come to an end.

Now I just need to accept
That we are already done.
But now that you're gone,
It hurts to forget.

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
watch as it pulls the sun from the sky,
marvel at how easily you become that light.
Let them yearn to be your moon,
long for a chance to reflect the warmth you provide,
admire how you can be so vibrant and alive
without them beside you.

Let them miss you.
Let yourself learn how okay you are
on your own.

I used to love you,
Gently, carefully...
As I was afraid of falling too deep.

I used to love you,
Silently, hopelessly...
Through endless tests of disappointments and jealousy.

I used to love you,
Sincerely, passionately...
With all of my heart and all of my being.

I used to love you,
And I hope one day you'll find someone
Who will love you as much as I used to.

I don't love you,
But I also don't hate you.

I don't want to think about you,
But my mind finds its way to you.

I don't want to talk to you,
But I wait for your call.

I don't want to cry,
But the pain is intense.

I want to forget and move on,
But my being is craving for you.

I don't want to see you,
But your perfect shadow haunts me.

I want to hold you close to me,
But I remember you're gone.

I can take it all,
But I'm only human.
