1. The Game
Let me tell you about a game I play
Where I close my eyes and fade away
I float away to a special place
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.
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...

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,...

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,...
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 love you with a love that's forbidden, yet I can't stop.
You make me feel like no man has ever made me feel before.
With just a look I swoon.
I dream of your arms around me, your lips on mine.
This poem has touched me deeply because I'm in love with someone that is about 6-7 years older than I am, and my family can't get over the age factor. He's my best friend. He's been there for...
To the love of my life,
though fate never allowed me to make you my wife.
When we met so many years ago,
it was love at first sight that I know.
This is my story. It starts out beautiful and amazing, and like many love stories, it went downhill too fast. During the summer of 2015, I met this most amazing, funny kind, and handsome man!...
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...
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,...
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
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...
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...
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...
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...
What has happened is never spoken,
And everything around me has been broken.
There's no words, just silence.
Hate but no violence.
That hurts. But do not let anyone's ignorance, hate, drama, or negatively stop you from being the best person you can ever be.
You were my angel
From heaven you fell right into my heart
But now that you're gone, I'm lost without you
Where do I start?
I, too, had this happen. 42 years ago, Colleen said something. I took it too seriously, felt rejected and over-reacted. Feeling slighted and hurt, I broke us up. She still loved me but...
Although you are so far away
You're always in my thoughts
I understand the circumstance
Is dealt with by the courts.
This poem touched me when I read it. My fiance and I have been together for almost 3 years now but in February 2015 he was arrested and has spent the last several months in jail and will be...
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...
I ask myself why am I thinking of you so much.
I think about all the moments we shared together and the way we touched.
You know that this was hard for me,
but you decided not to see.
To the most important person I've ever had in my life, I miss you every day that passes. You're always on my mind. Constantly I think of you. Because of the mistakes I made, I lost you. I...
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.
The night before I made you mad
I wasn't appreciating the love that I had
I came home so drunk, I was really quite late
I left you alone, sitting home there to wait
I have been separated for a few months after 20 years of marriage. I had no idea I was marrying an alcoholic until we were about 6 months into the marriage. We both had children, me 3 & he 2....
She HATES him,
With all her heart and all her soul.
He was hopeless,
This makes me think about life. Why do people hate each other?
