heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

W.h.u.m.t.i.h.m
Somehow I think you know how it feels to be truly miserable. You reach into my pitch black self pity though It's invisible. The fucked up shut you say to me I say to myself too. I wouldn't take it back, but you do. Sometimes the scariest scenario is the most truthful. I give you these broken pieces and bewildered you say they're beautiful.

Rain
She had hair like rain That would cascade over the pillows of our queen-sized mattress. It would pour from her beautiful mind and smoother me in my dreams.

Petals
I am like a flower. I have beautiful colors and many petals I stand tall on the ground and let the sun shine one me. I let you pick me up from the ground. Hoping you'll treat me right.

Erase a Thought Of...
Why can't I erase the thought of you from my mind the way you erase the taste of me from your lips? The feel of me from your vessel of a body that carries my pleasure

I’ll Leave Your Clothes and Records on Your Porch When I’m Ready
It’s January and you said, “You’re nothing.” and I wish that your fist to my face hurt more than the words you spat out because

A Poem that Will Be Forgotten Over Time
If my love for you was represented by a single drop of water,Then my love would fill the oceans and all seven seas.If my love was part of a single human cell,I’d give you all of me.If my love could light a tiny flame,Then my love would be all the stars.If my love for you could travel around,It would be faster than planes, trains, and cars.If the sun shone every time you make me happy,

The Back Up
The knife that runs through your chest, And across your wrist, The blood that runs down your breast, As you feel the twist.

Save Yourself
I was waiting on you to save me, but instead, I suffocated you with my love and I persuaded you with my body. I swore I was all that you needed, but you kept telling me I wasn't what you wanted.

Who Am I?
The mascara stains on her cheeks say more about her than words ever could. The purple-black smudges sit on her face like streaks of orange sit on the horizon as the sun sets.

The Night We Fell Apart
I remember the night we fell apart The vapid expression The harsh shadows that crept in the creases on your skin I remember staring into the same pair of eyes I had lovingly memorized

Loser Anti-Social
Dreamt about you last night I’d like to say I don’t know why but that damn well be a lie. I think a lot about you, you know? I’ve never met someone like you that would make my lips curve a weird way from side to side.

Time
Maybe I was scared of how you started to look at me, How you looked to expect more of me, Like I wasn’t who you imagined I’d be,
