Love Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poetry about lost love, heartbreak and relationship problems
Previously covering both the sides of love, this section now focuses on poems about the dark side of love, heartbreak and the hurt caused by lost love. Happy love poetry now finds a home in the "upbeat poems" section. This category is reserved for love poems about troubled friendships and relationships and it's where poets offload emotional pain inflected by (ex) boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, family and friends. Which all begs the question, what is love anyway? Maybe you'll find out here.

Real Love
Love permeates the air because I cannot
Get enough of you, but it is not the lust
I feel in my bones and veins. It is the real
Deal as I used to always get so caught
Up in the past, but not anymore as I trust
You and all the love that is strong. I feel
You even when you are not sleeping here
Next to me or walking besides me in this
Journey of life. I asked a million times if
You loved me and you said, “Never fear
My love as it is sturdier than the abyss
We get easily lost in. Let go of the cliff’s
Edge as it will never...
Get enough of you, but it is not the lust
I feel in my bones and veins. It is the real
Deal as I used to always get so caught
Up in the past, but not anymore as I trust
You and all the love that is strong. I feel
You even when you are not sleeping here
Next to me or walking besides me in this
Journey of life. I asked a million times if
You loved me and you said, “Never fear
My love as it is sturdier than the abyss
We get easily lost in. Let go of the cliff’s
Edge as it will never...

Love at First Sight
As we stand face to face
Our spirits reach out and interlace
Although apart there is no space
For love was filled in its place
I seeps in me and back in you
Now what you feel I feel it too
Teaching things I’ve never knew
Where 1 plus 1 is no longer 2
Where all my Y’s now end with U
A man like me has got no chance
As I stand here in this trance
And the sunbeams start to dance
All throughout your lushes hair
Giving off a gentle flair
And the wings of your eyes
Flutter like butterflies
What’s a man like me to do?...
Our spirits reach out and interlace
Although apart there is no space
For love was filled in its place
I seeps in me and back in you
Now what you feel I feel it too
Teaching things I’ve never knew
Where 1 plus 1 is no longer 2
Where all my Y’s now end with U
A man like me has got no chance
As I stand here in this trance
And the sunbeams start to dance
All throughout your lushes hair
Giving off a gentle flair
And the wings of your eyes
Flutter like butterflies
What’s a man like me to do?...

Nothing to proof
I can be the moon, sun and stars
I can paint your sky blue, black and white
Then the planets will be dully aligned
with your name written in the stars
I can be your armour; I can be your guard
I can be a god; so I'll give your life
Then I'd make you an angel; so you'll be immortalised
I can reset the rhythm to your weary heart
I can be the consolation to your teary eyes
I can be your heaven; I can be your earth
I can be this; I can be that
But nothing seems enough
To affirm my love
So now, I retire
Coz I'm...

Blue sea
Words come out like waves,
but thoughts hit me like tsunamis.
My love he craves,
not knowing I think of him everyday.
but thoughts hit me like tsunamis.
My love he craves,

Two hearts
Every little piece of my heart
is shattered in a million little pieces,
and it's pouring from the sky.
While your heart is sitting on shining star,
calling my name,
telling me not to fall in love,
but darling,
it's too late.

Love, Amputated
You touched my wounds
and my skin healed over you
Now, surgically removed,
you itch like a phantom limb
I have to learn to ignore
and my skin healed over you
Now, surgically removed,
you itch like a phantom limb
I have to learn to ignore

A sad sunrise
They're kind of the same:
Falling in love,
And being sad.
You know that feeling
when you know in your heart
that the person in front of you
is gonna fade away little by little,
until you forget about the time
you spent watching him sing his heart out
until the sun rose,
and you watched it together.
Yeah it's sad
being in love.
Falling in love,
And being sad.

Swept Away
Like a feather in the breeze
my hearts captured for a moment
It flutters all around
the wind being its opponent
Swept up in a matter of seconds
so swift and easily
All troubles are soon forgotten
as I float so effortlessly
But just as quickly as you arrive
You leave so suddenly
I fall back down onto the ground
and wait for the next gust to again move me
my hearts captured for a moment
It flutters all around
the wind being its opponent
Swept up in a matter of seconds
so swift and easily
All troubles are soon forgotten
as I float so effortlessly
But just as quickly as you arrive
You leave so suddenly
I fall back down onto the ground
and wait for the next gust to again move me

Exhaustion's Halo
I’ll see you in another life, when we, are both cats.” Vanilla Sky
..
Where to begin,
That’s always the most difficult thing
Breathe
I voice searched Google
For actors I liked,
When we met, just as many
Dead,
As wilting
I drag my foot
In the surf, while the sun is
Ferrying children,
In a basket
I guess I’ll start by saying,
I don't know what to say,
Your emotions are a thunderhead
My meanings
Get lost in

A call crawled by me,
soft, rhythmic, seeped in spree,
lured taunted ticker
and made of it shrew shudder.
When I looked, twas love's hewn hymn.

Note: Of lanky love.

Compost
Bells and chimes going off in my mind
Reels of memories hitting their ends only to quickly rewind
No need for a cue, who needs a fucking sign
Who in the world tells the sun when it's her time to shine
Thoughts of you are becoming mere flashes of pain
The only audio still understood is of you saying my name
Dang how I miss the sound of you healing me through
Looking into each other's eyes and knowing that we were true
Everything that was said was cataloged and put away
We lied cuddled on the couch so many nights and with so much to say ...
Reels of memories hitting their ends only to quickly rewind

Replacing Pictures
Images that you placed up and swore that they were you
Sweet fucking messages sent back and forth swearing that they were true
Me telling you what I fucking needed and you lying about what you would do
Please be honest, lies were told on both sides, all you wanted was me coming through
The poetry you swore was and you imagined it was all about yourself
You know that I've lost so much, but you will settle for whatever's left
Secrets were shared, things so fucking deep family and friend didn't even know
But you was not being satiated, you needed...
