21. You're Better Off Without Me
- By Blake Auden
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 28, 2021
I often picture what it would be like to see you again. To hear your voice, or feel the weight of your hand in mine. I rehearse what I'd say to you, whether or not I'd tell you about the poetry, how I'd reply if you asked me if I was happy, yet.

But the truth is I'll never tell you any of it. I won't call or find my way to your door. As much as I miss you, I know that you will want to love me - to pick up the pieces of me and hold them together, the way you always used to. And we'll end up back where we were, with you ignoring how much it hurt to try and love me - still giving even when there's nothing left for me to take.

If we're honest, we both know you're better off without me. If I really want you to be happy, then I have to accept that it means being far away from me. So I will love you from a distance, even if that means you believe the worst of me.

I’ve written you
so many letters
I won’t send.
I’ve rehearsed

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.

22. My Storm
- By Erin L. Kampen
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 11, 2022
This poem is about accepting a fate that was foreseen but all too tragic anyway.

A Relationship That Was Never Meant To Be

So awkward in the morning, just a little unsure
A little off your game, but it all felt so pure
We knew from the beginning that this was going to hurt
From floating in the clouds, to face down in the dirt

So awkward in the morning, just a little unsure
A little off your game, but it all felt so pure
We knew from the beginning that this was going to hurt
From floating in the clouds, to face down in the dirt
But we jumped anyway; love chased away the fear
Made all the noise that we heard disappear
The storm moved in behind our backs, we never stood a chance
The devastation buried us, a beautiful romance

23. Let Me
- By Elizabeth Shears
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2017
I'm basically expressing my anger towards my ex. After breaking up with me in the rudest way he possibly could, he had the nerve to ask me to still be his friend.

Anger Poem About Love Towards An Ex

Let me go one day
without looking at you, please.

Let me sleep one night

Let me go one day
without looking at you, please.

Let me sleep one night
without the memories.

Let me stray from the dreams
that fail to make me happy.
And let me continue this alone...

Let me drown myself
in these tears you caused.

Let me stab my own self in the back
with these broken shards from my heart.

Let me shock myself
with all of the energy I wasted.

Let me lose myself
in the darkness of my mind.

Let me melt
from the heat of my anger.

Let me freeze
from the coldness of your heart.

Then let me rip your heart to pieces
and destroy who I thought you were.
Then let me ask if we can still be friends.

24. Hollow
- By Brittany N. Rudd
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
I met this guy my sophomore year of high school when he came in as a freshman. We got to know one another, and I developed a crush on him. Around January of that same school year he kissed me. I'd never had feelings for someone so strong. I was always willing to do anything and everything for him. I thought he cared about me too and that I was the only one, but that's never the case, is it? I comforted him and protected him, only to get treated like a side piece. Three years later and I still care so much.

Poem About Feeling Used By Someone You Love

I want to have feelings and be somebody.
My empty chest longs for the warmth of a heart,
To feel the rhythmic beatings.
All the butterflies have withered to dust,

I want to have feelings and be somebody.
My empty chest longs for the warmth of a heart,
To feel the rhythmic beatings.
All the butterflies have withered to dust,
And the knots have vanished.
Broken pieces echo off my rib cage.
It will take more than I'm sorry this time.

Silly me for believing I was the only one,
A lone daisy in your vast garden of roses.
I only wanted you to help me grow.
Instead you ripped my roots from the earth,
Pulling my petals, indecisive about love.
While ignoring my cries of agony and admiration,
You disemboweled me and I'm left bare.

I crave you in the worst ways.
I want to have you and feel your hands again,
To be touched deeper than the skin.
Feel my battered insides and remember who loved you.
Trace where the heart you stole once played a cadence
Every time you were near.
This godforsaken skeleton shivers under your caress.

The only thing I ever wanted was to be loved.
Now I'm alone without sensation.
Incapable of thoughts,
My mind is gone and I'm spinning.
I've become a robot with a plastic exterior,
A decoy of what used to be, before you shattered my heart,
A counterfeit smile plastered on my pale lips as I feel nothing.

25. When We
- By Dana Schwartz
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2013
This is written from experiencing a marriage and several relationships with a "bad boy." My home girl and I have spent years watching, waiting, and standing behind our ol' men who have lied, cheated, abused, been locked up, and taken us for granted. It seems like an endless cycle until we either win, lose, give up, or die.

Poem About Giving Up On Love

When all we hear are the empty promises and lies
That leave behind broken hearts and shattered lives,
When trust is gone and hope is lost,
What are we fighting for and who really pays the cost?

When all we hear are the empty promises and lies
That leave behind broken hearts and shattered lives,
When trust is gone and hope is lost,
What are we fighting for and who really pays the cost?
When you tell us you're sorry but you do it again,
Why do we believe you, why do we keep giving in?
When we finally realize we made a mistake,
It's too late, we've sealed our fate.

26. Lost
- By Shelli
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2009
Poem about being confused by breakup.

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 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.

27. Unconditionally Painfully In Love
- By Jasmine S. Johnson
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2009
My name is Jasmine, and I have a man I love with all of my heart. But we love with pain. In this poem I am letting people know that you don't have to love with pain. You can stop it at any time. But in my situation I just don't know how to stop it. Or I may have gotten so immune to it that I am afraid to find the outcome of it when I do stop.

This pain is taking its toll,
But my love it never gets old.
The trials and defeated emotions
Keeping me sane with magical potions.

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.

28. Failed Love
- By Vbishal Barick
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2017
It's an episode from a not so distant past of mine.

Poem Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You

He built a wall
Around his heart.
Then she came along,
And the wall fell apart.

He 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...

29. My Memories
- By Graham Chaplin
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2016
This poem is about the loss of a girl I loved so very much when I was young. Sadly, I let her slip away because I could not believe that I was worthy of her. Now many years later, I feel that I must pay tribute to that love.

Wanting One More Day With You

My memories are sacred of the you I used to know.
I remember all the places where you and I would go.

Time has made me older, and life has made me old.

My memories are sacred of the you I used to know.
I remember all the places where you and I would go.

Time has made me older, and life has made me old.
My bones are thin and brittle; my body feels the cold.

Days when I was younger and warmer in the sun,
Days when you were with me, I was the chosen one.

Years went rolling past us, but I lost you along the way.
I would give all my tomorrows for just one yesterday.

30. Painful Memories
- By Mary Grace Sabucdalao
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2016
Trying to forget the feelings is like trying to remember someone you never met. It's hard but possible.

Escaping The Pain

I want to run, I want to hide
From all the pain you engraved inside.
I want to shout, I want to cry.
Why can't I tell you goodbye?

I want to run, I want to hide
From all the pain you engraved inside.
I want to shout, I want to cry.
Why can't I tell you goodbye?

I want to let you go, but I couldn't do.
I want to forget you, but I've always think of all that we've been through.
I want to move on, I want to feel free,
But these aches will never leave me be.

I feel bad and a lot of pain.
It slowly makes me feel insane.
Painful memories flashing back like a video recorded scene.
It feels like I've fallen from the sky like the rain.

31. Just Yesterday
- By Bern Agustin
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2008
"We were once colorful and new in a blissful land of me and you," and now the love is lost.

Loss Of Relationship

yesterday I was crying...
deep pain creeping within
yesterday I was sobering...
such endless grief, left me shivering

yesterday I was crying...
deep pain creeping within
yesterday I was sobering...
such endless grief, left me shivering

we were once colorful and new
in a blissful land of me and you
just yesterday you were holding me tight
same yesterday you were gone out of sight

I've lived my life from this memory
kept running away, reality been missed
aches of memories, no future have seen
"could I ever survive drowning in misery?"

just yesterday you were gone without me
tried to ponder whatever reason there'll be
just yesterday I was too weak to see
is there any rainbow left only for me?

32. Is It Worth The Pain?
- By Caity
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2013
I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years. I was only 17 and he was 28 when we started dating. I was still stupid and partying and started using drugs. I lied to him and really hurt him, and he became physically abusive. We love each other and decided to work on it, and we now have a baby together. But he still cannot get over the past, and it's gotten to the point where I feel trampled all over and tired of trying...I love him and I know he loves me, but should it be this hard?

Saying you loved me, with that look in your eye.
I wish I could say it was a cold-hearted lie.
I know that you love me, I know that you care,
But the rage inside you slowly flared.

Saying you loved me, with that look in your eye.
I wish I could say it was a cold-hearted lie.
I know that you love me, I know that you care,
But the rage inside you slowly flared.
I admit I've made mistakes, overstepping the boundaries,
Which made me look fake.
I always said I would never do the things I did,
And I know that's why it's so hard for you to forgive.
So many times we've said that we'd try,
Just to turn around and make each other cry.
Remember how it was when we first started out?
We fell so hard, maybe fell in love too soon.
At one point you'd notice ONLY me in the room.
We both did things we can't undo;
Now it seems our relationship is headed for doom,
And not that long ago, I was EVERYTHING to you.
Now you're looking for other things to "do."
I admit my mistakes, but can you admit yours?
I have paid for what I have done, as you've paid for yours.
So why is it like this? Why can't we even talk?
You call me names and act like you don't care,
All a while, our love for each other is still there.
I never meant to hurt you or cause you any pain,
I know neither of us want to go through this same old stuff again.
I owe you so much, and I have so much to prove to you,
But you continue to do things you wouldn't want me to do.
We always have these tears to cry,
And are left with all these wondering questions of why?
Why can't we get past the past? You think I expect too much too fast,
But don't you want to become whole at last?
Why won't you at least try to believe me, instead of pushing me further away?
I have these emotions, I wish you could see,
Sometimes I get really upset, 'cause I feel you don't understand me
Will you ever love me like you USED to? Show me the love that I ONCE knew?
The love that we both grew,
When will you see? I'm starting to feel like I hardly know you anymore?
When can we go back to how it was before?
Will we still hurt if we heal? Or by that time, will we still feel?
My dream of US does not look like it's coming true.
All I feel is sad and blue,
And I know you're looking for other things to "do."
You're sick of me and want something new.

33. Valentine's
- By Gwen
- Published by Family Friend Poems September 2008
Thanks for breaking my heart.

No roses, no candy, no darling or dear...
Guess I'll spend it alone this year.
Men talk and they flirt; they wink and they sigh...
but when it comes time... there's no one to buy.

No roses, no candy, no darling or dear...
Guess I'll spend it alone this year.
Men talk and they flirt; they wink and they sigh...
but when it comes time... there's no one to buy.

I like my candy...my roses...and wine.
I love to snuggle, cuddle and dine.
Just seems it's something that men don't want.
Guess they don't understand the hurt of a heart.

I'll get no gift, no card, no call ....
just me laying here...or walking the hall.
No heart that flutters or skips that beat
when I see you coming down the street.
No hugs, no kisses, no special treats,
just me alone...one hurting heart... that has no beat~

This day's for lovers AS IT should be...
just regret the fact there's none for me.
I try so hard to find that love...
the one they say is sent from above.

But alas for me, it's not to be...
so alone this Valentine's Day I'll be.

For all you lovers...cherish your mate.
Explain to him how you met was fate!

Remember the giggles the fun and folly,
of how it felt to be happy and jolly.

So care for your man, care for your woman,
and you will have that love that makes the heart flitter and flutter and the pulse run fast.
So cherish them on this glorious day and remember how great a love can be.
Happy Valentine's Day!

34. Pain, Pain Go Away
- By Kari Johnston
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2008
Pain, pain go away!
Please do not come back another day.
Tears falling down my face.
Oh, how I wish for his warm embrace.

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.

35. Faithful, Unsure Love
- By Shana Worthen
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008
I dedicate this to all the girls who have been hurt by guys they thought loved them. Don't let them stop you.

Through all the storms and struggles-
All the fights and tussles,
All the disrespect, and abuse,
My love was always true.

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.

36. Lost Love
- By Robert B. Wolfe
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2016
This is about my first love that I gave up when I went into the service. I never stopped loving her.

Poem About My High School Sweetheart

As I sit and ponder the day away.
I remember the young love I gave away.
I searched for a love like I left behind,
Too young to realize she was one of a kind.

As I sit and ponder the day away.
I remember the young love I gave away.
I searched for a love like I left behind,
Too young to realize she was one of a kind.

Like a ship in the night,
She sailed away.
The hurt I felt
I still feel today.

For years I walked along a lonely shore,
Dreaming of the eyes I'll see no more.
The love I felt, I still feel today
For the love of my life that I gave away.

37. The Cycle
- By Spencer Castro
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2007
This poet writes with perhaps some pessimism that the nature of all love is ultimately to end in sorrow.

Poem About Hating Someone You Used To Love

Why do we feel such strong emotion,
Of complete care and pure devotion.
It seems to bring just pain and fear,
Along with shame and then the tears.

Why do we feel such strong emotion,
Of complete care and pure devotion.
It seems to bring just pain and fear,
Along with shame and then the tears.

Though at first, it sure feels great,
As if, almost, it were in fate.
With a smile, we first feel love,
And then we thank Great God above.

Making it last for a while,
Thinking he or she is in denial.
Keeping secrets from each other,
Living lies with one another.

Beating ourselves with jealousy,
Wondering who it is they see,
The warmth that we had felt before,
Begins to fly, right out the door.

Distance then grows the two apart,
Knowing they are not right at heart,
The cycle that they had began,
Finally came unto its end.

38. Telling Myself
- By SummerBreeze
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2008
It takes time to heal.

Heal From Broken Heart

As I lie here, staring out the window
our memories flowing through my mind,
holding back as a tear hits the pillow,
scared of thoughts I might find.

As I lie here, staring out the window
our memories flowing through my mind,
holding back as a tear hits the pillow,
scared of thoughts I might find.
Telling myself I'll be stronger tomorrow
if you would just come back until then,
but instead it's constant sorrow.
Now I have nothing, for he was my sin.
As time should heal all things,
it feels as if it's going so slow,
crying, careless what life brings,
but I do not dare to let it show,
for he was my love,
now that is gone.
Telling myself I'll be happier another day.
Until then,
wondering what went wrong,
thinking why didn't he stay.
I'd rather just cry now and not hurt later
and ask myself why this happened to me.
Telling myself it'll soon get better,
I really hope,
I believe.

39. Reality
- By Keioma Livan
- Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015
Have you ever been in love with someone who, for some reason or another, just can't love you back or at the least can't love you the way you want them to? If so, this is the poem for you.

Poem About Someone Who Seeks True Love

Just 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,

Just 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.
I hold you 'til the end of time,
but when I awake to find that you're not there,
my world is full of sorrow and despair,
and reality, like a rushing wind, destroys my hope,
my everything.

You told me that no one could ever replace me.
You lied.
You told me that she meant nothing to you.

You told me you could never love her as much as you loved me.
You lied.
You told me that I was your one and only.
You lied.
You told me that one day we were gonna have a family of our own.
You lied.
You told me that you would forgive me and forget about everything I did wrong.
You lied.
You told me you would never keep secrets from me.
You lied.
You told me you would never lie to me.
