1. Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines
Poet Introduction
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
When someone you love has left you there is a feeling of missing a part of yourself. Like one who has had a limb removed, you constantly reach for the phantom lover. You may wish for this uncomfortable feeling to leave you so that you can function properly. However, the truth is that the place in your heart that feels a sense of lacking represents the hole where your relationship goes. It is natural to feel that you miss the person the belongs in your life.

The poem reminded me of my very true love, someone I dearly adored. Even when he's gone, I feel like the love for him can never end. How could it end? It's imprisoned me in its shackles, and...

Poet Introduction
Because of you, in gardens of blossoming
Flowers I ache from the perfumes of spring.
I have forgotten your face, I no longer
Remember your hands; how did your lips

Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away
I float away to a special place
I wanted to cry when I read this. I didn't realize how often I do this, even throughout the day. This one touched my heart. My husband has been in jail for 3 years. He got 7 years and there...
I'm sitting on the porch,
Wind blowing through my hair.
The ducks are frolicking in the pond,
But I just can't seem to care.
Wow, this poem is how I end almost every letter to my husband. They took him the beginning of summer also. Our daughter was 6 months old, and today she turned 1 year, and he missed it. I cry...
I remember how it used to be
when nothing else matter but you and me.
Music, country roads, and future dreams.
Zachary, I just saw your comment on the poem I wrote. You know, you can miss someone when they are sleeping in the bed right beside you every night or miss them when they move on. Either way,...
Last night I had a dream.
We were walking hand in hand
On a deserted island beach,
Over endless miles of sand.
Never has a poem hit me so hard and touched the pit of my soul. People talk about meeting their soul mates, and for forty years I thought stuff like that only came out of fairy tales. That...
All these days and nights without you here,
It's a little bit more than I can bear.
The days are cold and so very long.
The first time I had a boyfriend, we dated 6 years (basically from when I was in 4th grade until now). Very recently, we broke up because he was always busy, and I hardly saw him. Now that...
I'm so tired of this empty feeling.
I'm so tired of being alone.
I lay here staring at the ceiling,
Waiting by the phone.
Patrick, I love you sooo much!! I will wait for all ETERNITY for you! You are my world, my rock, my EVERYTHING!
My finance just got locked up on Nov. 9, 2018, and I would have gotten...
Poet Introduction
I miss how we used to be,
So vibrant, so honest, so wild and free.
I miss the way you would understand,
I read this story, and it sounds like something that happened to me, almost the same. I couldn't have written a better story of what happened to me and one of my closest friends. I also did...
Poet Introduction
I'd rather have the thought of you
To hold against my heart,
My spirit to be taught of you
With west winds blowing,
I have never read anything by Angela Morgan, but this truly speaks to me right now.
I could dream of you forever,
But it wouldn't put me beside you.
I could call your name on end,
This poem is deep. It calls you out. I'd been friends with this guy for about 6-7 years. When we first met I remember getting those butterflies, that instant feeling of knowing it was him. I...
Poet Introduction
Without you, days seem endless.
Without you, my nights are lonely.
Everything seems so empty.
Only with you I know I will be fine.
Sweet memories. experiences always make a man complete. Real chivalry is in maintaining this beautiful relationship while you or she is alive. Difficult - yes, but not impossible. God bless...
Poet Introduction
It was love at first sight.
When I saw you, I knew
Together we would be,
Just me and you.
My boyfriend did 2 months in jail then he got out and went to a inpatient program. He has been in there 4 and a half months, and yesterday was his first overnight visit to spend time with me,...
Poet Introduction
What we have is something new,
Our love for each other has always been true.
We met in a very uncertain way,
but if it wasn't for that,
There was this new guy in class. Me being the shy and reserved girl, I didn’t try to speak to him, though I had a huge crush on him. One day he came up to me, asking for my notes. After that,...
I miss you in silence
And every moment in between
But I’m a little busy unfolding
Those pieces of who I used to be
One 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.
You left me alone, I didn't cry.
I didn't call, you didn't try.
Out of all the things I chose you.
I said I love you, I really do.
This is so sad. I'm so sorry. You loved him with all your heart, but he...just...I don't even know what to say. It's like he just left you there to rot and die. This is just so sad.
Poet Introduction
Your smile is the joy of my day
I have not seen that smile for another day
Each day I need to taste your lips
I had been single for 2 good years before I started searching for a friend. I met a lovely lady. I texted her and she replied. We began to text every day, sharing common interests and ideas....
I miss you so much
That it makes me blue.
I couldn't even enjoy my day
Because I kept on thinking of you.
Poet Introduction
When love dies,
It ceases to exist.
And the flame that used to be,
Ceases to persist.
Night falls and morning comes and still no sign of you
I wonder what you're doing and wished I were there with you
I think about you every day
Wow this site and all the comments have really made me feel less alone, my fiancée and I are at beginning of his 2 year sentence and everyone is so right it takes more strength and commitment...
