Moving On Poems
Poems about Letting Go and Moving Forward
Love is a dynamic and changing emotion. Sometimes it grows and sometimes it fades. Moving on from a relationship or marriage, leaving behind a past love, or pursuing a new fling can be scary, uncertain, and difficult. However, the prospect of change and new experiences can also be exciting and a time for discovery. Focusing on the opportunities and experiences ahead rather than dwelling in past memories can help us to move forwards. Our lives are in flux in every experience and moment, and letting go, no matter how difficult, is an important part of that process.

1. My First Love.....My First Heartbreak
I never thought I would love someone like you
Never in my dreams that I would meet you
But then, as I travel in my life's journey
You walk into my life and I fall for you.
I never know how is it to be in love
Until that very special moment
You brought wonderful things in my life
You opened my eyes to see the beauty of love.
You are my first kiss
You are the first guy who hugged me tenderly
You are the first man who held my hand lovingly
You are my first love.
You are the one who taught me how to love sincerely
You showed me the way to your heart
You've taught me everything that I should know about love
I told myself, the story of my life is all about you.
You cared for me, and I really appreciate it
You showed me how to love unselfishly
But you never teach me the art of letting go
You never teach me the cure of hurting so much.
I thought my first love will be my last
I thought its you that I belong to
But now, what I once thought remains as thoughts
For you are now waiving goodbye.
All your smiles are for me
But now, its for somebody else's
Your stare so full of love
Its for someone's comfort.
The hug and kiss that I once have
Your heart once all mine
Now, they all belong to somebody
It hurts to know you are already gone.
Deep in me, I made a promise
I will never fall in love again
Unless its you, my first love,
My one and only...Latest Shared StoryWhen I was 19 (I'm 21 now), my first love was far away. It was a long-distance relationship. I never thought that would happen to me. We had such a great time. She was my everything. I didn't...

2. A One-Sided Love
Poem About Falling For Someone You Can't HaveOnce upon a time I opened up my heart to you.
You did what you chose to do.
You chose to keep my as a best friend.
Little did you know I was dying to the very end.
You killed me with every boyish look.
My heart melted and my knees shook.
I always wanted more than that,
But I guess it wasn't meant to be.
But you'll never truly know how much you meant to me.
You were always there
And wiped away every tear.
I just wish you would've waited, stayed here.
I still dream about you in this one-sided love.
It's hard to breathe without you,
Like a suffocating dove.
I wish you loved me the way I loved you,
But this is a lesson that helped me learn the truth.
Guard your heart and soul and mind,
Unless you want yourself in an unruly bind.
This one-sided love has torn my apart.
This one-sided love has broken my heart.
Please be safe on this journey of life,
And come back someday and make me your wife.
This one-sided love is a dangerous game,
But then again, that's the name of the game....Latest Shared StoryThis poem reminded me of how much I fell in love with my friend from the same youth group back in college. We were really close that time that suddenly and unexpectedly my feelings towards...

Poem About Falling In Love And Letting GoWhat do I do,
When I'm still in love with you?

Telling myself our love was true.

4. Lost Love
Poem About A Love Not Meant To BeThe most amazing moment was when we met
The love and time I have shared with you
have all been without regret...
In spite of our love...
I am painfully aware
That you are gone,
And no longer there..
You made up your mind and you went away...
as things started to not feel right...
I know it's pointless to wish for you to stay...
because at the end of the tunnel there is no more light
Often I don't know what to say or do..
So many times I have cried over you...
Emptiness and sorrow is now a part of me,
Since I have to accept that we will never be..
BUT
Our memories continue to live in my heart
As I wish you well with your brand-new start
Please, believe me when I say
You will always be with me
Come what mayLatest Shared StoryWow, Saliha. What you wrote is exactly what happened to me, except I'm on the receiving end. I was married, distanced myself, then divorced her for no good reason. Just lost that love. Now we...

5. You Taught Me To Let Go...
Poem About Deserving BetterUsed to listen when you said you would always be there.
I sit and think about all the times we had together,
and how I thought I used to love you, when you used to care.
I'd last through any weather,
but when the our storm came you left at the first sight of rain,
leaving me here
to deal with all this pain.
I sat there crying, thinking what did I do wrong,
I looked to my mother who said, "Baby stay strong,"
so I wiped my tears and begin anew,
new me, new life, and happiness without you.
Someday you'll miss me, but it will be too late for us to be.
You didn't know what you were missing,
but now you do, calling me crying saying, "Baby, I love you."
I love you too; that's why I'm letting you go.
I'm a hell of a good woman.
It's too bad it took you this long to know.
What we had is in the past, it's a reason we didn't last,
but whenever you get discouraged about why we're through,
just look in the mirror
because it's all on you...
I hope next time you learn from your mistakes,
and when that girl needs you do whatever it takes.
always remember this, I love you, but I love me more.
I had to learn that when you walked out the door...Latest Shared StoryI loved this poem. It absolutely spoke to my life right now. A lot of heartbreak and pain, but this poem helped immensely.

6. Carry On
Poem About Coming To Terms With A Break-UpI don't hate you,
Because I still love you.
I can't look at you,
Because it hurts to.
We don't talk,
Because there is nothing left to say.
You apologized,
But I just walked away.
I'm leaving you and the thought of you behind,
Because I just need to clear my mind.
I'm angered because you wasted my time,
Hurt because I believed you were mine,
But I just didn't see the signs.
I guess that's why they say love is blind,
Because you got my heart caught in binds.
Look me in my eyes,
And listen as my heart cries,
Cries out in pain.
This feeling makes me feel like I'm covered in flames,
Until ashes are all that remain.
Thought you were different,
But you're all the same.
Thought this was real,
But it was all a game.
I gave you my love,
And you gave it away.
That's why my heart is blue
And my skies are gray.
Will I ever see the light of day?
Will this dark cloud ever go away?
Or will it follow me for my remaining days?
Grasp all my joy and strip it away?
NO! I am too bold.
Way too bold to be stuck in the cold.
I am way too strong not to carry on.Latest Shared StoryIt all started at the end of summer. She was sad, and I was angry at the things she was sad about. I wanted to make her happy. I can't normally stand to see people sad. So after a long week...

7. Can't Stop Going Back To Him
He gets her every time.
Those blue eyes hypnotize.
She believes every lie
That he's ever told her.
His touch she can't resist,
And with just one kiss
He pulls her back in.
She can't say no
He's got control
Of her all over again.Latest Shared StoryI kept going back to the same man for 12 years, even though he cheated, lied, and beat on me. He left me and married someone else, and I still took him back.

8. Don't Look Back
Poem About Trying To Find Love In An Old RelationshipLove doesn't happen overnight.
Love doesn't argue about what's wrong
or what's right.
And don't expect to find a love that will last
if the only place you're searching is in your past...
Love is hard to find; it's even harder to let it go.
Don't settle for something just because it's what you know...
We tell ourselves this time will be different.
What may work for a little while longer
is irrelevant...
You can't fix what's already been broken.
You can't believe the new promises that have been spoken,
because the pain you forgave once before
will always linger in your mind each time they walk out that door.
This time won't be the same,
yet you find yourself playing the game,
but in this game nobody will win,
because every sinner is likely to sin again.
Your heart is in a million pieces,
Your life is full of hits and misses,
but one thing that still remains
is your ability to accept the things you can't change.
We all make decisions that we regret,
but it's our choice to forgive,
just never forget.
Always stay true to yourself and your values,
'cause in the end that's all that matters,
Don't waste time thinking you're not worth it,
'cause no matter what anybody else thinks,
there's somebody out there who might just think you're perfect.
Love doesn't happen overnight.
Love doesn't argue about what's wrong
or what's right,
and don't expect to find a love that will last
if the only place you're searching is in your past.
Latest Shared StoryI have liked this guy for nearly three years, and I cannot tell him how I feel because I am too scared. He is the sweetest, and seeing him with other girls breaks my heart, even though he is...

9. One Day
One Day He'll Miss YouOne day you're gonna see her,
But she won't be looking at you.
One day you'll feel like she did,
And you won't know what to do.
One day you're gonna love her,
But she won't feel the same.
One day you'll know how it feels
To have your blue skies turn to rain.
One day you'll dream of only her,
But she'll be dreaming of someone else.
One day she'll feel as if she's in heaven,
And you'll be feeling as if you're in hell.
One day you're gonna cry for her
The way she did for you.
One day you're going to miss her,
But she'll be loving someone new.Latest Shared StoryI remember getting my heart broken by this boy. He was in 11th grade, and I was in 9th grade. We met over the summer. He went to my school, and he treated me like I was all he ever loved. In...

10. Broken Hearts And Prayers
When your heart chooses a path, and you walk so far,
nothing can turn you back from where you are.
No pain, no scars can make you turn away,
there's nothing that anyone can do nor say.
You're scared, your hurting and the tears seem to never end,
but you think in your mind "I would do it all again".
For the little moments, that get you through the bad,
For the few happy moments that get you through the sad.
For the few laughs and smile, and the jokes and the care,
that you wish so wholeheartedly would always be there.
You'd try to make them happy in every possible way,
but it seems to worsen with every passing day.
All you want is for them to hold you and let you know that they care,
but know matter how hard you try, they don't, and it doesn't seem fair.
Your whole heart now broken, you hope for a change,
but you know somehow even through your prayers they will always be the same.
Your love won't let you leave, and you continue to hope for the best,
and pray every night that God will take care of the rest.Latest Shared StoryHi, that poem is right about my love life. So sad! We don't deserve to be treated wrong. I'm so sad, but God is with us, and I keep praying He will help my guy change. My guy is a narcissist....

11. Trust
Poem About Broken TrustYour words begin to mean nothing to me,
You continue to lie under your breath.
Had me convinced that you were different,
Yet here I am, with a broken trust.
My heart torn out from the center of my chest,
Ripped into a million pieces.
You promised me over and over
That you would change for the better.
But I soon came to realize
That you're no different than the first time we met.
Each event replayed itself,
And each time you betrayed me.
Again I am standing here in this empty hole,
Listening to the echoes of your promises fade away.
I really thought you would change for me,
I really believed that you cared for me.
Oh, how wrong I was
To put my trust in the likes of you.
The pain I am feeling now
Is the pain I'll forever retain.
Over and over again,
I am left with nothing.
No matter what I do,
I always get the blunt end of the stick.
Normally I would say I'm to blame,
But sadly I do not deserve this claim.
My eyes have reopened
To never again let you gain my trust.
In the world we live in now
Has very little, if any,
Able bodies that I can trust,
Is it so that only I can earn this trust?
I don't believe I'll ever truly understand the meaning of trust.
I won't live by this word,
For its meaning is far too easily broken,
And very difficult to fix.
No longer will I allow trust to govern my life,
No longer will I allow your love in my life.
I stand here alone,
With a broken trust.
My last words to whom it may concern,
My trust in you was a privilege.
You continued to break the very string
That held my trust for you.
In the end,
You betrayed me with more than I can say,
Left me
With a broken trust and a broken heart.Latest Shared StoryI can relate to this one. I'm in the middle of going through it now. This poem has opened up my eyes even more to what I need and have to do. I thank you from the deepest part of my heart.

12. The One-Sided Affair
Poem About Love Not Being ReturnedI loved her eyes, I loved her hair,
I loved her looks, I loved her stare.

Although I loved her with my all,
She did not love me, not at all.Latest Shared StoryI understand your pain, I once had a friend whom I helped unconditionally. Gave her financial support, food on the table, place to stay and paid her study fees, cause her family could not...

13. Ashes In My Eyes
When the sun starts to fade
No I won't give in, 'cause your
face still remains
and your soul is in beneath my skin.
Your body is next to mine,
yet your heart was
never mine, it still belong to someone
so you will remain ashes in my eyes.
No, your hands could never be mine, but
my heart is all yours all the time, how could you
be mine, when you're

14. Why It Has To Be You?
Poem About A Developing RelationshipSitting alone and silently
I recall a special part of my life
That part came unexpectedly
And lasted only for a while.
My life has been quiet and peaceful
Until that unforgettable moment
You came like a silhouette of my soul
Then you walked right through my heart.
Every day is a picture of happiness
There's no hint of loneliness
Everything is wonderful
Because I spend it with you.
But then, as time goes by
Feelings begin to fade away
Tears fall down one by one
And it kills me to say goodbye.
Every time my mind says move on
my heart says hold on
So many questions inside my head
But the answers are all up to you.
Loving someone like you
Without boundaries
Makes me think deeply again,
Why, why it has to be you?Latest Shared StoryThis poem has really touched me. It was an experience I had with my first love who cheated on me with her ex-boyfriend and I decided to quit it all.

16. My Love
You'll Always Have My HeartYou make me laugh and smile
when I need a cry, even if it's only for a little while.
You make me happy when I am sad,
even when I'm really mad.
You take the weight off my shoulders and the worry from my mind;
you really are one of a kind.
You came into my life and turned it around,
and with that, our love was found.
I'll always love you through the bad times and the good,
even when you eat my food.
You picked me up when I was down,
when no one else was around.
You helped me grow and find who I am,
and for that, you are a better man.
Now it's time for us to part ways,
live our lives and welcome in the good days.
I'll always miss you, and you'll always have my heart.
With all my love, your sweetheart.Latest Shared StoryI relate to this poem so much. My boyfriend broke up with me in a similar manner. He said things were complicated and that he just wanted me to be happy and that I should find someone that...

And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding

But darling,

I don’t miss you any less than yesterday
I’m just a little busy
Finding me.Latest Shared StoryOne has to find themself, I agree, and not be totally reliant on somebody. I know because I was never allowed to live freely; now my independence I treasure dearly.

18. Same Song
Love Is Like Listening To A SongLoving you when you're gone is like listening to my favorite song.
I've just been listening to this one for far too long.
It's hard to stop listening when the birds sing it too.
I guess in my world it really is a popular tune.
I've replayed it so many times that I sing it in my head.
It's the last thing I listen to before I go to bed.
But we all know after a while all songs get old,
And after that while I'll learn to let go.

20. You're Better Off Being Happy
Goodbye Message To Someone You Still LoveI'm glad you're happy.
I guess it's what I deserve.
I can't change the fact
You make my heart swerve.
I had my chance,
I screwed it all over.
Threw away my only luck
Like a four leaf clover.
I'm not saying that I'm perfect,
I'm not saying I'm a nice guy,
But be mine once again.
Not only will I make it worth it,
But I'll bloody try.
You really don't understand,
You're worth more than a hundred grand.
I never wanted it to be like this.
It hurts because you're the one my heart will miss.
I can't take back the moment.
I can't make your happiness change.
Don't look at me now, I'm broken.
It's like I'm being shot at a shooting range.
