Hurting Poems
Poems on Being Hurt from Love
In a loving relationship, there are often hurt feelings. We have certain expectations of our partner, and when they do not live up to them we are likely to feel a sense of betrayal. The truth is that if we put our hurt aside for a moment we may realize that our lover was not even aware of the expectations that we had for them. These expectations are probably a carryover of fantasies that we have in our heart of how a perfect lover behaves. It is OK to have these expectations. However, if we expect our partner to fulfill them for us we must at let them know what we would like.

1. Nobody Knows
The Pain Of Leaving Someone You LoveNobody knows it's empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there...
Nobody knows I am crying.
They won't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here...
Nobody knows it's painful.
They think that I am strong.
They say it won't kill me,
But I wonder if they are wrong...
Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains,
Trapped in the mystery...
Nobody knows I need you.
They think I can do it on my own,
But they don't know I am crying
When I am all alone...Latest Shared StoryMy girls left me for their dad and his wife. They felt they had to or they’d lose him. Kids are resilient? They just push it all down. It still wounds them. Who would think it would only...

2. Tears Of A Broken Heart
I have given all my love to you, but what do I get in return?
A broken heart.
I have given you my heart, and you stomp on it like a doormat.
I have given you my youth and you took advantage of my un-experienced heart and played with my emotions.
I gave you all the trust, but you misused it.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and you proved everyone right.
I gave you my life and you killed me day by day.
I want to pull my aching heart and tear it piece by piece so I no longer love you.
I want to lose my memory so I no longer think of you.
I want to go so far so I no longer have to see you.
I want to cry, but I no longer have any more tears to fall down
my sad, lonely face.
I want to sleep, but my dreams haunt me with you in them.
I can't seem to find a way out. What do I do?
I don't want anyone to see this, not even you.
How do I get out of this?
How do I stop this misery? How do solve this mystery?
I can't seem to find anyone to make me feel the way you do,
The way you look at me,
The way you say my name,
The sound of your voice when you tell me that you care.
I love you so much I think I'm going to die from this pain that haunts day and night.
How can I forget you? If the only love I know is you.
How can I move on? If life is not the same without you.
I want to break free and move on, but I think I'll be doing something wrong.
I just have to close my eyes and let things fly and let the days pass me by.Latest Shared StoryBrenda, I know exactly how you feel. I'm in love with a guy who doesn't feel the same about me. He says he loves me but really doesn't show it much. He has never been abusive or physically...

3. The Hardest Thing I'll Ever Do
Poem About Needing To Move OnThe hardest thing I'll ever do
Is let go of you
And look forward instead of back at my past.
I wonder how long this broken heart will last.
I guess everything you ever said was a lie,
So I'm going to move forward, or at least I'm going to try.
How many times can a heart crack before it shatters?
Or does it even matter?
I've sat and cried over you way too much,
Just wishing one more time I could feel your touch.
But you don't care, and neither should I.
So I'm going to move on, or at least I'm going to try.

4. Forever
Lies And Broken PromisesForever means nothing in my eyes.
It's just a word you use to cover up lies,
To hide your tracks each night you leave
So I don't worry and start to believe.
The words I love you are just a joke.
Each time you say them I try not to choke
On the tears that threaten to stain the ground,
And I just nod, don't make a sound.
Each night you tell me you truly care,
But when I need you, you're never there.
You think what you want about how I feel
And claim these tears are never real.
You say you know everything about me,
But you only know what I let you see.
You bring me down when you think I can't hear,
Just anything I put up with every year.
You make me feel worthless in front of you,
Like you hate me and everything I do.
You never notice the tears that spill down
Or the fake smile and permanent frown.
You're too caught up in believing a lie
That you never see how hard I try.
I wanted perfection and failed you all.
I let myself down and started to fall.
Forever, to me, is an empty promise you made,
And still I wait as the memories fade.
To me, forever is a waste of time
That makes you feel lucky as you climb
To the extent of your happiness, but it won't be true,
Because to me, forever is something you can't do. -
5. Drowning
They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.
But when I least expect it.
When life seems to be
a quiet stream of continuity.
They come to disrupt.
So forceful they pull me under,
so that I am drowning and once again,
can’t catch my breath.

6. The Worst Pain Known To Me
Poem About Loving Someone You Can Never HaveThe worst pain known to me
Is to be stuck on a love that never could be,
To love someone who'll never be free.
The worst pain known to me.
My heart aches unfathomably
Knowing he too wishes it could be
Him and me forever with glee.
The worst pain known to me.
He has each and every quality

7. Living Again
Running, running
far away.
Escaping dreams
of yesterday.
Faster, faster
there I go.
Forgetting things
you'll never know.
Dying, dying
deep inside.

for me to hide.
Catching, catching
up with me.
No more running
from reality.
Stopping, stopping
let me cry.
Finding a way
to say goodbye.

8. Lies
Letting Go Of Love PoemYou broke my heart in two
And took me like a bet.
With all you put me through,
I have so many regrets.
To lose you was worth it,
although I wasn't sure.
It seemed to make me happy
but still so insecure.
We always said forever
we would take it to the end,
never give it up,
but this time my heart couldn't mend.
It cut so deep into me.
I guess it hurt you too,
but when you did it, then you lied.
I had to say, "We're through."
I gave you all I had.
I tried to make it last,
but now all we have
are memories from the past.
So look me in the eye,
and tell me what you see.
A girl so broken inside
who's been through misery.
And now I'm moving on
with the pain that kills inside,
but I'm starting to forget
by reminding myself how you lied!
I have somebody new,
someone to treat me right,
to talk to lovingly
and to hold me all night.
He's there for me when I need him,
to give me love and support,
to hold me close and wipe away
all my signs of hurt.
To kiss me softly every night
and let me know he's there
to call me just because,
just to tell me that he cares.
Now here I go again
falling so hard, so deep,
but this time it's different.
This is one I want to keep!Latest Shared StoryI am in the same situation. I was in a diploma/internship program abroad and I met someone. We used to sit together during school days, and gradually I developed feelings for him. I stayed...

9. You're Better Off Without Me
I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed
phone calls
and played out
chance meetings
in my head.
And yet, I’ll never
tell you any of it.
Because I know
(deep down)
you’re better off
without me,
and I want you
to be happy,
whatever that means.Latest Shared StoryIt is funny how things can be funny, even if when they are not. Distance was said to separate but in my experience, I realized that it brings people even closer (thus, more concentrated in...

10. Lost
I thought it was a dream; I thought it wasn't real,
But pain really hurts and it's really how I feel.
Memories keep coming back, and so do all of the tears.
I hear your voice, and as quick as the smile came, it quickly disappears.
I don't know what is happening, because you always held my hand.
You said you would never let go; that is what I don't understand.
So many promises you made, and more of them broken.
Lost and confused, feels like I'm choking.
A lot of things I did not say;
Now I can't find my way.
I feel like a boomerang; you throw me but not only that.
Every time you throw me, I always seem to come back.
Back to you, back to pain.
Nothing has changed, you're still the same.
I cannot start over because I don't know where to start.
I guess that is what happens when someone breaks your heart.
If we are supposed to follow our dreams, why can't I follow you?
Because now I am so lost, I wish you were lost without me too.Latest Shared StoryI got my first proposal on January 1, 2013, when I was almost 12 years old. The boy who proposed to me was eight years elder to me. He proposed me in a very cinematic way-in the middle of the...

11. Unconditionally Painfully In Love
This pain is taking its toll,
But my love it never gets old.
The trials and defeated emotions
Keeping me sane with magical potions.
The heart that keeps my blood flowing,
That pain that keeps me down but going.
If the pain leaves and love stays,
How would life be for me?
Would I have a hole in my heart
Where hurt and pain used to be?
Is there a way out of this
Loving, painful misery?
Is there a way into this
Love that I have failed or neglected to receive?
Is this love?
Unconditionally loving you is
Bringing me pain,
But it keeps me sane because I have you.
Am I kidding myself?
Am I in denial that you love me back?
Am I just a dream away from reality?
Am I making believe that I love you?
I think not...
But pain keeps me going.
My heart keeps my blood flowing.
You keep my life glowing.
Jesus keeps me believing.
My calmness is showing,
But my happiness is hiding
From pain and love.
I unconditionally, painfully love you.

12. Pain, Pain Go Away
Pain, pain go away!
Please do not come back another day.
Tears falling down my face.
Oh, how I wish for his warm embrace.
Wonder if he cares about me.
Wonder if this is supposed to be.
How can he stand there and break my heart?
How did we allow us to grow so far apart?
My dreams of us being happy is not going to come true.
All I am feeling is down and blue.
Pain, pain go away.
Bring me back to another day
where he loved me and
we thought we were meant to be.
I will not stop loving you; that much is true,
but I will be stronger in time
and not feel so blue.
You will always be in my heart,
even when we are apart.
One day I will have that warm embrace,
and tears will stop flowing down my face.
Pain, pain go away.
Leave me alone and do not stay.Latest Shared StoryPain, pain, so much pain. So much trouble in this world. How can someone ever feel my pain? Broken but will continue to be spoken, reaching for a hand while sinking in quicksand. So much...

13. Reality
Poem About Someone Who Seeks True LoveJust saying your name makes me realize
how much meaning you add to my life.
I watch your actions every day
and long to hold and kiss you when I'm awake,
but reality dawns a rainy day,
a world of fantasy and dismay.
In my dreams I make you mine.

and reality, like a rushing wind, destroys my hope,
my everything.Latest Shared StoryYounger days, softer hearts, loving Eyes. You and I were so in love with each other. We wanted our love to last for eternity, but I left. I loved you childishly. I broke your heart so many...

14. I Want To
I want to write about how you make me feel,
How every time I see your face I know that you're real.
I can't describe the feeling you always raise in me.
I can't describe this wash of happiness that you seem to bring,
But I want to write about it; I want to write about you.
I want to write about that day we shared,
How every time you would laugh it would linger in the air.
I can't describe the loving look in your eyes.
I can't describe the reason why you won't say, "Goodbye."
But I want to write about it; I want to write about you.
I want to write about all our memories, all our stories, and adventures,
How we conquered them together,
But I can't describe the paths we took.
I can't describe the sense of security I felt in that one look.
But I want to; I want to write about you.
I want to write about us,
How everything felt was true love, not lust,
But I can't describe anything without you.
I can't describe all our hopes and dreams,
How everything that was so perfect left in a fleet of screams.
I want to write,
But I can't explain how our plans got so disarrayed,
How God just had to take you away.
I can't describe this sudden feeling I have to be by your side,
How even through death I have to hide all that I feel inside.
I want to write, but I forget how to describe what is meant.
I want to write about you, but I can't.
I can't describe the feeling of lost, the feeling of what it all cost
Or of the silent screams, the lovely dreams with just you and me,
But I want to.Latest Shared StoryWhat hurts more than losing someone is knowing you'll lose yourself. You know the only problem with that statement is that when a person knows they will lose someone they try to gain them...

15. Faithful, Unsure Love
Through all the storms and struggles-
All the fights and tussles,
All the disrespect, and abuse,
My love was always true.
When you made me cry, made me feel unloved,
I was always there by your side.
No matter what you did or what you said,
I was proud to be your girl.
My love for you is greater than anything in this world.
You know that no one can love you like I do.
Everything we have been through,
I was faithful to you and only you.
I was your girl, your boo;
But all you ever did was treat me like garbage.
You said, "Baby, you know I love you."
But true love doesn't break my heart.
I tried and tried to look past it,
But the more I tried, the more I saw the real you.
All the lies, all the deceit,
You must have thought you were slick.
To love you more than anything
Would be ignorant on my part.
I can't image my life without you,
But I can't image my life with you.
I deserve more than what you give me,
Better than what I have now.
Growing up is something that you need to do.
My love for you is always there....
But my heart is moving on to better things.Latest Shared StorySounds just like me during the roughest times I've had yet. I will make it, though. I'm a survivor, even if it's with the zero dollars and what little I have in belongings.

My sorrow's song.
A song that's short
And not too long.
A silent pain you'll never feel,
A broken heart that'll never heal.
How do you kill a dying love?
One that you thought was sent from above.
One that brought so many lies and tears.
One that you swore would last through the years,

Now realizing you were never the one,
But now it's too late, 'cuz my song is done.Latest Shared StoryA thousand words

Poem About Loss Of GirlfriendI wish this world of darkness would come to an end.
I lost a girl, I lost a friend.

She's gone, and my world is dark and grey.

You have drowned every emotion of us,
Held it under water until it could no longer breathe.

Only left ashes of what could have been.
We could have been great together.
We could have made it.

20. Failed Love
Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love YouHe built a wall
Around his heart.
Then she came along,
And the wall fell apart.
He stepped out of the wall
Just to realize
It's still full of pain
And as cold as ice.
So he said to himself,
"This love thing, it isn't for me.
That's something
I finally see."
But before he builds the wall again,
He wants her to know
It was his love for her
That he failed to show.
If only she could see
What's in his heart,
How he feels for her,
The way he's torn apart.
"Please understand," he says.
"It's not you that I blame.
I know your feelings
For me aren't the same.
Maybe it's just fate
That I fell for you.
I just couldn't help it,
Although I knew."
She'll never love him back,
That he has to accept,
But loving her, knowing her,
Caring for her has been a joy
That he'll never regret.
He knows he has to move on,
And with time he shall,
But it's gonna be hard,
And it's gonna take a while.
Although he doesn't want to,
Believe him, he's trying
To let go of his feelings,
But a silent hope keeps striving.
For what he doesn't have
He does not complain.
In fact he's grateful,
Having someone to share his pain.
In these last few lines,
He just wants to wish her well.
May all her dreams come true.
That's all he has to tell.
So he's taking his leave now,
With just one hope within...
That someday she will realize
Just how much he loved her.
If only she had seen...
But he will be long gone by then,
Inside his broken wall,
Never to come out again,
Never to hear the call,
With few memories to join him is his pain,
And a vow never to love again...
Latest Shared StoryHonestly, this made me tear up. I feel exactly the same. What a beautiful poem. I really thought this girl was the one for me. I wanted a future with her, make memories with her, and build a...
