21. Shattered Soul
- By Shianne
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2017
I wrote this poem when I had my heart broken and was trying to find out why everyone hated me.

What Heartbreak Feels Like

Heartbeat falls upon deaf ears,
Slowly take away all my fears.
Coldness closes in all around
As your shattered soul falls to the ground.

Heartbeat falls upon deaf ears,
Slowly take away all my fears.
Coldness closes in all around
As your shattered soul falls to the ground.
Teardrops fall from the skies,
Raindrops form in your eyes.
The hurting goes so deep.
Starlit sky burns out as you weep
Tears of fury, cries of hate,
As you curse your destined fate.
Your wall breaks down, exposes the world outside
And reminds you of every time you tried
To be perfect for the one you love,
To be like an angel sent from above.
Reminding you of all you couldn't be,
You chose this lie, wove this fantasy.
You wanted happiness for a while, at least,
And by doing so you unleashed a beast
That took the happiness, left only pain,
Turned your world black, your dreams now slain.
As you know, he broke your heart,
But your soul was shattered from the very start.

22. Can't Let Go Of You, Don't Want To
- By Amy Lorraine Bridges
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2015
I had lost everything, and nothing was worth living for. I felt so lonely and numb, and in result to this I tried killing myself but did not succeed in doing so and was sent to a psychiatric hospital. Months after I had been sent there, I was still in a program for recovery, and I learned to write poems as a form of recovery. You can never recover a broken heart, but you can help heal it. It's been almost five years since I have tried to kill myself and I still haven't recovered, but my heart has become stronger. There is hope!

Today doesn't seem real,
That might be because today I can't feel.
I can't feel the sun, moon, or stars,
I miss the love that used to be ours.

Today doesn't seem real,
That might be because today I can't feel.
I can't feel the sun, moon, or stars,
I miss the love that used to be ours.
I wish you were here,
'Cause now in my mind your face is no longer clear,
The memories of you are almost lost.
My love and trust I have already tossed,
So when you leave,
Please promise me this time you will just let me be.
Let me be me and only me.
You always come back to haunt me, follow me everywhere,
But this time, my life no longer will I share.
Forgetting you is something I will never be able to do.
Even though I say I hate you, you know it's because I love you.
Let me know you can't forget me either,
When you do, I'll know it's true because you're not a people pleaser.
I pray and pray to be able to let you go,
But there's just something about you,
What? I don't know.
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm flying.
Now all I'm doing is crying.
I'm hurt and numb.
Without you now I feel so lost and dumb.
What you did to me and put me through hurt so bad.
Your love used to make me happy,
Now it makes me cold, hurt, and sad.
Every night I go to bed clutching my pillow, pretending someone loves me.
I'm stuck; there's nowhere I can run to or flee.
I have no choice; I have to keep walking on,
Like new legs on a baby fawn.
One day, someday, I'll be free,
Free to run and walk and be fine being a lonely me.

23. My Love Is Gone
- By Ralph P Quinonez
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2019
The hardest thing is losing the love you have.

I No Longer Feel Whole

Lord, hear my prayer oh so dear.
My heart is aching; my mind isn't clear.
My love has left me; it hurts my soul.
Without that love, I don't feel whole.

24. Hoping
- By Tara Ong
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2012
I thought I truly found happiness, like most people do, only to find out he was with someone else. I started writing him a letter, sort of a last goodbye, when I realized that I was writing a poem. Even though things didn't work out for the two of us, I feel that this poem explains exactly all I was trying to say to him. I wasn't trying to say goodbye; I was just hoping that he could feel a little bit of what I was feeling, you know, hoping for his love.

Last Goodbye Letter

I write this poem for you to read,
with heartache that will forever bleed.
I wish things were so different.
Sadly, this is what you've made of me.

I write this poem for you to read,
with heartache that will forever bleed.
I wish things were so different.
Sadly, this is what you've made of me.
I sit here alone day by day,
realizing my life is better off this way.
I admit I still hurt from all your lies,
yet you'll never hear my cries.
You once made my world stand tall and proud.
Now what's left has crumbled down.
Something good has come of this,
One more chance to find true happiness.
I guess this is goodbye, and so it shall be,
wishing for your love was foolish of me.
I will move on, which was too easy for you.
I wrote this poem hoping you'd feel heartache too.

25. I Love You
- By Karissa L. Bailey
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A woman struggles with feelings she still has for her man after she has already broken up with him.

Relationship Made Of Glass

The intentions are real
But the truth is untold,
Patiently awaiting the lies to unfold.
Her heart shatters with the thought of his touch.

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?!

26. My First Love...My First Heartbreak
- By Hydz Trinidad
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2009
I am a woman of independence. I can say that I am successful in my family, work, studies, and career, everything except in love. At the age of 24, for the first time in my life, I fell in love with someone. I thought my first love would last, but I made mistakes. I lost love because of what I am. The guy thinks I am a woman so hard to reach for....it breaks my heart and every time I think of him, I really don't know how to mend my broken heart.....worst, he's eyeing our common friend.

I never thought I would love someone like you,
Never in my dreams that I would meet you.
But then, as I traveled on my life's journey,
You walked into my life, and I fell for you.

I never thought I would love someone like you,
Never in my dreams that I would meet you.
But then, as I traveled on my life's journey,
You walked into my life, and I fell for you.

I never knew how it was 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 were my first kiss.
You were the first guy who hugged me tenderly.
You were the first man who held my hand lovingly.
You were my first love.

You were 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 appreciated it.
You showed me how to love unselfishly,
But you never taught me the art of letting go.
You never taught me the cure of hurting so much.

I thought my first love would be my last.
I thought it's you that I'd belong to,
But now, what I once thought remains as thoughts,
For you are now waiving goodbye.

All your smiles were for me
But now, they're for somebody else.
Your stare so full of love,
It's for someone's comfort.

The hug and kiss that I once had,
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 it's you, my first love,
My one and only...

27. Wait For Me
- By Sabrina
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2009
You know that feeling that you get when you think you love someone? Or when you're falling in love for the very first time? Those are the feelings I got towards this one man. I've liked him since day one. When he finally asked me out my insides turned to lava. I felt like I could fly. Unfortunately, it was the wrong time for us. We were both way too busy with our own lives. So no matter how much it hurt me, I had to end it. To this day, we are still very good friends, and not a day goes by that I don't wish that we were once again together.

Poem About Lost Love

I know so little about you,
But I'm falling in love with you.
I have been since the day we met.
When your eyes met mine

I know so little about you,
But I'm falling in love with you.
I have been since the day we met.
When your eyes met mine
My heart stopped on the dime.
When you sent a smile my way,
My troubles allayed.
It was so unexpected
When our lips connected.
Our hearts entwined,
As our bodies intertwined.
Remembering your warm embrace
Brings tears to this delicate face.
It took all my might
Not to leave with you that night.
You said you'd take me far away
From tears, fears, pain,
And this sick twisted game.
You said you were serious,
I still think you were delirious.
Looking up at the sky
I still ask myself "why"
I really wanted us to work.
The day I ended it my heart broke.
Maybe one day we will once again be.
As the days pass, I will wish and pray
That you will wait for me.

28. The Dark Road To Love
- By Fathimath L. Ahmed
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2018
The story behind this poem was when my first love finally gave me some hope and yet I destroyed it all. He was the most imperfect perfection I had laid my eyes on and all of him was scared and bruised. But when you're in love, you see beyond a person's mistakes and flaws. You come to terms with who they are. This poem is an experience; it's part of my life story, and I hope it spreads love to the hearts that are reading it.

Destruction and ruination,
Confusion and complication.
That was all she ever was.

Destruction and ruination,
Confusion and complication.
That was all she ever was.

Mistakes and insecurities,
Culpabilities and apologies.
The world let her down just like it always does.

She walked on broken glass,
Bleeding herself out,
Numb to all the pain,
Body pale with colorless veins.

She watched as his life was intact,
Tranquil and content.
She tried to let him go,
She really did,
But everything about him pulled her to him like a magnet.

All his flaws in her eyes were like crystals,
Shining radiantly with acceptance.
No matter who he was, who he will be,
Her heart belongs to him, his truly.

Wildfires and cyclones,
Tsunamis and tornadoes.
They both went through those just to survive,
Came out stronger and more than alive.

Rejection and distances,
Resistances and broken promises.
They burned themselves for each other,
Afraid that they would perish if they came closer.

So they stayed where they were,
Carried on with their lives.
Life passed by her eyes in a blur,
As she hoped for the flames to die altogether inside,
For he had moved on.

29. Hollow
- By Fathimath L. Ahmed
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2018
When you can't express the agony and pain inside of you, poetry is one of the ways to get it out. I wrote this poem when I just couldn't find the meaning in anything. Everything was numb. I was paralyzed. A feeling so dreadful that I turned into an empty shell. I doubted every emotion I felt. I tried so hard to get through it all. I was broken. I no longer wanted to feel love. I just wanted the dreadful feeling to end. I hope you like it. This poem is for those you have felt like this.

Feeling Numb

Emotions.
Do you feel them?
She was numb and frozen,
Yet it dimly sparkled like a dying gem.

Emotions.
Do you feel them?
She was numb and frozen,
Yet it dimly sparkled like a dying gem.

Broken.
Do you know what that feels like?
Piercing explosions,
Burning afflictions,
Hollers of agonizing cries.
She had nothing left inside.

Eyes closed,
Heartbeat stopped,
Barely alive.

She was a hollow shell.
Into an endless oblivion she fell,
Pitch black and nearly brain dead.
There was nothing in her life ahead.

Passion.
Why is it so strong?
She was deprived from it.
Devils had done her heart way too many wrongs.
Killed was the lust,
Lost was the temptation.

Love.
Why is it so painful?
Once crystal clear and beautiful,
Now a turned poison from what was as pure as golden dust.

She wanted nothing to do with it.
Not long ago it had made her bleed.

Hidden thorns
On her skin that burned.

She was a hollow shell.
Into an endless oblivion she fell.
Pitch black and nearly brain dead.
There was nothing in her life ahead.

Eyes opened,
Tears flowed,
Standing in front of a mirror,
Watching as she wholly became hollow.

31. A Triolet Of Heartbreak
- By Ann D. Stevenson
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 16, 2021
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

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.

32. Look Me In The Eyes
- By Jenny
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2009
I wrote this poem for my husband. I wanted him to know how I feel and how much it hurts to be lied to. He's the love of my life, my soul mate, my friend.

Poem About Not Wanting To Hear Lies

Look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see.
My hopes and dreams are shattered.
Is there no future for you and me?

Look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see.
My hopes and dreams are shattered.
Is there no future for you and me?
I love you more than I ever thought I could.
Someday I thought we would find happiness,
Like every couple should.

Look me in the eyes.
For once tell me the truth.
Did you ever love me?
Please don't make any excuse.

Look me in the eyes.
Can't you see my pain?
My heart is breaking;
I have no one else to blame.

Look me in the eyes.
Can't you see my fear?
If I'm losing you,
God take me away from here.

Look me in the eyes.
You'll see how much I care.
The tears roll slowly down
Then vanish in thin air.

Look me in the eyes.
Can't you see my hurt?
If not when I'm awake,
Then do it while I sleep.

Look me in the eyes
At least once before I die.
You will see the memories
That we shared through our
children. So...

Look them in the eyes,
Let them know you care.
Let them know you love them
And that you will always be there.

Look them in the eyes.
Please don't wait until it's too late.
Look them in the eyes,
Only speak the truth.
Lies can hurt forever
Some hearts get too torn to mend.

Look them in the eyes.
They will always need a friend.
Look them in the eyes,
Never let it end.
Then do it while I sleep.

33. A Shattered Heart
- By Christi Ybarra
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2008
Love like a broken vase

Some say a broken heart is like a shattered vase
Fragile pieces scattered all over the place.
The shattered pieces of broken glass seem to go everywhere
Unlike the pieces of a broken heart that seem to pierce your soul.

Some say a broken heart is like a shattered vase
Fragile pieces scattered all over the place.
The shattered pieces of broken glass seem to go everywhere
Unlike the pieces of a broken heart that seem to pierce your soul.
With faith and hope you try to mend the broken heart.
Unlike the vase, it cannot be so easily replaced.
It takes a while to mend it and then you lock it up.
You hide the key and wait to see if someone can be found,
A special person who will use the key to unlock the heart,
A unique person who will handle the heart with gentle hands,
Who can be honest, truthful, and handle it with care.
My heart and I wonder is there really that kind of person out there?

34. I Don't Sleep Because Of You
- By Carlie
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2011
I wrote this poem when the love of my life told me we could never be. I spent weeks where I wouldn't sleep because of him.

I don't go to sleep at night
because you haunt my dreams,
and waking up to find you're not here
is harder than it seems.

I don't go to sleep at night
because you haunt my dreams,
and waking up to find you're not here
is harder than it seems.
See, I'd rather stay awake at night
because one thing I know is true,
that without my dreams of us,
I'll never be with you.
So I don't close my eyes at night,
and I don't go to sleep,
because if I do,
I'd have to admit defeat.
So why don't you try living
where you can't face your dreams,
where every minute gets harder?
well, that's the way it feels,
and it's not that I can't sleep,
because that I can do,
but if I close my eyes at night
then I am with you,
and you may think that's what I want.
And to point you would be true,
but the reason I don't sleep at night
is all down to you.
I'd happily dream about you all day long
Because in my dreams you care.
It's the waking up without you
That I cannot bear.

35. In The Shadows
- By Holly A. Blackwell
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016
I met a boy a while back, and I fell in love with him. He left university and we stayed in contact, but then he suddenly cut me off and made me feel worthless. The hardest part of all this is that, although it was hard to move on from him, when I was moving on, he returns and I'm back to loving him, even though he doesn't care. I wanted to write this for me, to express my feelings and help the healing process.

Poem About Being Left In The Shadows

You left me in the shadows, alone in the dark.
I was left crying and upset the day you broke my heart.
I tried to move on and meet someone new,
But when I was in their arms, I wished it was you.

You left me in the shadows, alone in the dark.
I was left crying and upset the day you broke my heart.
I tried to move on and meet someone new,
But when I was in their arms, I wished it was you.
I tried and tried to push my feelings aside,
But my feelings for you I couldn't hide.
Time passed, and I changed and grew.
I matured and moved on from the person you knew.
I started to pick myself up, I saw the light,
Until I saw you that Saturday night.
For you played with heart like you did before,
Made me feel like we could be more,
But you left my life, like you did before.
No cares in the world when you walked through that door,
So now I'm in the shadows, alone in the dark,
Now crying and upset as you've broken my heart.

36. You Used Me
- By Ellia Keil

This poem is based on how a guy used me just to get his first kiss. He made me feel horrible. I never really felt love, and I thought he would show it to me, but he didn't... so apparently, used is all I'll ever be.

You used me.
I thought you were the key,
But the truth is that you used me,
So now I will never be free.

You used me.

But the truth is that you used me,
So now I will never be free.

I thought you loved me,

I thought you were my forever,
I thought you were my song.

Now I lay here in a crumpled mess,
Now feeling totally -less.
You used me,
And used is all I'll ever be.

37. Destruction
- By Ashley Saldana
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016
I write as a form of escape. My deepest feelings come out when my emotions are at a high. This poem describes marriage problems. When you have someone you love so much and have to suffer through the lies, heartache, and betrayal, you feel so low. You no longer feel alive. That's where I was when I wrote this.

Anger Poem From Suffering Through Lies Heartache And Betrayal

Overcoming the heartache you caused me,
Trying to rebuild my esteem,
Convincing myself I am truly enough,
Questioning why you were always so mean.

Overcoming the heartache you caused me,
Trying to rebuild my esteem,
Convincing myself I am truly enough,
Questioning why you were always so mean.

It all started as a fairytale.
You were everything I was looking for,
But that gentleman set sail,
And the real you walked through the door.

It started with the small things,
You'd say things "you didn't mean."
They became bigger and bigger,
Turning into a nightmare, it seemed.

"Who is that girl?" and "Why didn't you answer?"
Became our normal discussions.
You acted like it was no big deal,
Like there wouldn't be any repercussions.

Year after year you've changed me.
I've changed into something so cold.
I am so far from who I once was.
I am now weak and no longer bold.

You've played enough mind games
To make me feel no good.
"Who wants someone like me?"
All I know is motherhood.

Wonderful life, huge house, nice cars,
On the outside we look the perfect pair,
But no one sees what my life truly holds,
Pain, heartache, and despair.

Maybe one day I'll be able to escape,
Start over somewhere new,
But I'll never forget the impact you had on me.
I'll forever believe love is untrue.

38. Truth Lies
- By Alison
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2019
This is a poem I wrote based on my real life experience.

You Don't Love Me Anymore

If love is great, if it is true,
Then how can you explain this thing I'm going through?
'Cause after all those years that were together,
You decided to tell me the truth -- that you've found someone better.

If love is great, if it is true,
Then how can you explain this thing I'm going through?
'Cause after all those years that were together,
You decided to tell me the truth -- that you've found someone better.

The truth that you don't love me anymore
Is killing me to my core.
And the truth that you are the only one I adore
Is a kind of pain that I can't take anymore.

I thought you loved me more than anything.
Then one day you just left me with nothing.
And now I'm all alone in this room where you used to lie.
Sometimes the truth makes everything seems like a lie.

I would rather a bad truth every day than a good lie any day.

39. Heartbroken
- By Katherine Ayala
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008
To a boy that I love

A Broken Heart

You broke my heart
And won't repair it.
You took my love
and won't give it back.

You broke my heart
And won't repair it.
You took my love
and won't give it back.
You made me feel
and never did.
You made me have hope
and you gave up.
My heart is broken.
You gave me good times,
You gave me bad times,
You let me fall for you,
You let me fall in love,
And you let go of me,
And you let me have my heart broken.

40. It Feels Like A Lifetime Ago
- By Raquel Franco
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2020
Feels like a lifetime ago
that I loved like that.
Wanting more
and more and more.

Feels like a lifetime ago
that I loved like that.
Wanting more
and more and more.
There are no photographs.
No forgotten sweatshirts.
No saved brunch receipts
or concert tickets.
No proof that I was madly
in love with you.
We carved our names
into nothing.
My skin aches knowing
all I have left
is a fading film reel
of your smile.
