Poetry about lost love, heartbreak and relationship problems
- Published by new DU Poetry members.
What I must do, is hard when I want you
I still want you,
Though I say I don’t.
I may sound convincing,
But this mask I wear
Cannot hide the truth I feel inside.
I desire you in ways I should,
And in ways I know I shouldn’t.
I long to see you shine,
Yet part of me wants to see how far
I can push you, make you bend.
It feels as though we’ve been robbed—
Never given the chance
To explore what we could have been.
And now, perhaps it’s time
To let you go.
But what are we to do,
When neither of us wants that choice?
I’ll always find my way back to you, ...
Though I say I don’t.

I can push you, make you bend.

Never Guessed
Nobodies hurt me
No,
Not as much as you
I always thought
A mirror
Could not do so much harm
A flame so bright
I didn't think
Would ignite
A super nova
Metamorphosis
Caught in the blast
Charring
my soul
Left for dead
No I never thought
You'd hurt me
Like you have.
No
Nobodies hurt me
Not as deep as you.
Then I knew.
Only a mirror
Could do so much damage.
Only a true...

ART OF LETTING GO
Is there any art in letting go?
Because i let go.
What do i do?
Frame my tears?
Or tame my fears?
Can everything really turn happy?
I,too, wished to see the ‘half glass full’
But i didn’t, when they left me in a jiffy.
I thought I was the epitome of bravery.
Turns out there was no one worse than me.
I'm lost, baby,
I'm so lost.
Have seen my home breaking apart.
Made paper boats every time i looked at you to hold myself up.
Couldn’t save the titanic though.
But the thing i thought at last, was me finally getting rest.

Men once marveled at your beauty—
I still see the flicker of who you could have been.
“You could have had it all,” I think,
And it burns my soul the most.
You clung to holy morals,
Clutching a Bible like a lifeline,
And it anchored you
In a sea of suffering you couldn't escape.
You could have graced the runway,
Dazzling, free, unbound—
But you never closed that book,
Never flipped the preacher off,
Never let the dream breathe.
Instead, you let men break you,
Bruise your spirit,
Tell you to cover up, ...

Feelings that I hide
I feel my skin burning with the fire of your gaze
Every time you look at me, I'm lost in a daze
I can't breathe, my chest tightens with desire
But I know I have to hide it, pretend I'm not on fire
I want to vanish from your sight, disappear without a trace
I don a mask to hide my true feelings, to save face
I can't bear to show you the wounds you've inflicted
The scars you've left with your harsh words, so conflicted
You don't see the pain you've caused, the damage done
You only see what you want to see, not the hurt I've spun
I...

Ode to the Drunk Girl, Don't Text That Man
Babe, we’ve talked about this too many times to be sane.
Put your cell phone away, there’s nothing to be gained
from texting a man who knows you miss him.
You sent the long paragraph, he doesn’t care,
which is why you’re six shots in, and I’m holding your hair.
You can’t fix him, he’s not a flat tire.
His mama should have named him “Selfish Fucking Liar”.
In fact, we’re changing his contact name to that right now.
Give me your phone, your keys, and sit your ass back down.
He forgot your birthday and didn’t know your favorite song. ...

Hollowed Breeze
Into your being, Aeolus blew
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature

Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
