I was drowning in the sea.
You took one look then suffocated me.
Bubbles came in through my mouth as I screamed.
They exited my nose when I tried to breathe.
I was drowning in the sea.
You took one look then suffocated me.
Bubbles came in through my mouth as I screamed.
They exited my nose when I tried to breathe.

Every day hurts as much as the last.
If I could turn back time, I'd return to the past.
A past where things were lovely and true.

I know you say you love me,
But you don't see
How this breaks my heart,
Since we are now apart.
Buddy, I feel your pain. Obviously, reading divorce poems... I too was married for 16 years with two children. Oh how I wish I could have made her feel more love. She's gone now and I...
Love is a four letter word,
that makes your heart sore.
You think you're in love,
I'm tired of pretending
Everything is okay,
That it does not pain me
When I hear your name.
Exactly how I feel. Trying to pretend it doesn't hurt. Well, it sure does.
Wow! Good job. Sometimes hindsight will have us saying "What if?" And in the final review of an ended relationship, there may have been something else we could have done to make things work...
No one told me about this pain.
Everything hurts, even my pride.
It's these emotions I am forced to contain.
I always enjoy reading and learning about different poetry styles. Thanks for being a great teacher. The poem was excellent. Best wishes.
I know we'll never be the same.
Behind my love,
I'm filled with shame.
Age. Family. Work... could play a huge part. Or he might be married. Men can be master deceivers.
It wrecks me, that last moment
that played out so wrong.
Our hopeless eyes locked
just a few seconds too long.
Short but powerful. My favorite kind. This poem shows what can happen when two people who can't be together (for whatever reason) don't want to be apart.
You walked away
Left me alone
Nothing to say
No place to call home
