Lost Love Poems (2,650)

time slows down and we see it stop , when we lose someone.
your heart breaks beyond repair.
you feel like your chest will implode , sucking you into yourself.
time seems never to restart were you left it.
and never will again.
you find yourself wishing to turn time back itself.
in the hope it can be.
or freeze a moment in time forever.
but once gone can never be repeated.
time wasted is time lost forever.

hope rains and springs eternal
hope is all we have, hope is our dreams, our life will return again.
hope drives our thoughts, our hearts, our emotions.
and our destiny through our lives.
hope is all we have when times get tough.
on the darkest night, in the coldest winters ,or the hottest summers.
hope for love , hope for luck and hope for a future.
hope rains supreme through time and ages.
hope never ends.

Talk to me
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me
Why did you leave?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Jus nursin my tea
thoughts of you in my head
Sittin crossed legged
Indian style, on my bed

Layin back on the pillow
wish it was your chest
Yeah, that "S" is for Super
We know what you do best

You were the peace
that silenced my tears
You were the beast
which chased off my fears

Two years now, yer gone
with nuthin to say
How you jus dip
and leave me this way?

I thought we were friends
Shit, I kept you close
You are the one
I dreamed of the most

What the f*ck, man?

Say something
You know that I'm home
Say something
Don't leave me alone

Talk to me, bruh
chu got up yer sleeve?
Talk to me, Boo
Why did you leave?

I don't understand
What the hell is this crap
You vanish & leave, like:
"Peace b*tch, it's a wrap"

Like, I can't even fathom
What got into you
When I told you my past
The shit I been through

I trusted you, bruh
My heart open, exposed
Like a surgeon, you left
The wound sat unclosed

I can't innerstand
How you jus walk away
What are you thinkin?
Have you nothing to say?

Talk to me, love
chu got up yer sleeve?
Say somethin, Boo
Why did you leave?

Talk to me, please
You know that I'm home
Say something, just....

Don't leave me alone

When you went out just like a candle
I done cried the whole night long
cried the whole night long
rolling down
rolling down
from my head down to my shoe

'Twas more than I could handle
that night were long
night were long
all the stars had gone
lemme drown, lemme drown
ain't never gettin' over you

When I be crossing that River Styx
Lord have mercy
ain't no ferryman
gonna take my crown
take my crown
he just gonna lay me down
with a heart so blue

Party girls tumble
tumble from the bars
curving the night
a raucous army
while the men
drawn but circumspect
drain their last drinks
idle back to the boarding houses
to dream of
poster woman
incendiary encounters
a symphony of lust
without end
but knowing
this is reserved for the few
the well dressed
the rich
men of intellect and power
but for the morrow
he'll wake to a simple breakfast
for a simple man

The pain of love.. what can I write,
To warn about this 'thing',
Its beauty can impair your sight,
Then like a wasp will sting.

Love at first sight ? I'm not so sure,
Approach on tippy toes,
Flirtatious eyes might be a lure,
To tears and lifelong woes.

Some love is destined not to last,
And fails the test of time,
Like actors in a play miscast,
Or verse devoid of rhyme.

This poem is written half in jest,
And half in searing pain,
But every word I can attest,
Is penned not in disdain.

For me .. in lovelife I was stung,
My heart it bore the cost,
And there at love's cold graveside flung,
A red rose white with frost.

Take me back to first day you said you love me
To that wonderful feeling you given to me then
Even now you cheated and betrayed that love
You still my heart everyday with an aching pain

You always knew and how I loved you forever
I saw your eyes and never knew they were fake
Although you're now left me for another
You be happy with your new other

All I wanted to love you more than yesterday
But now I just dying in loving you everyday
knowing you not with me now as you did now
So I wish you two happiness as its two years

If she only knew
If she could just feel
What I feel here in my heart
She'd know it was real
Pure and true right from the start
But I'm just a man who didn't understand
What she was going through
And took me for granted and played me up
Cause love is so easy to feel
But the hardest thing to say
Only if she could just see
What I see when I close my eyes
All that I dreams I felt for her
Surely she would realize
Like a fool I waited much too long
But now she's gone away,
Maybe she'd wanted this way
Only if she knew

You've hurt me like no other
Made my heart bleed inside
I thought your more than any other
But you had inside another

Crying in the middle of the night,
Trying forget you in my time
But your always in my sight
Like a living ghost in my mind

Why my love wasn’t enough for you
In your mind I know I wasn’t vital
Each day I hurt my feelings for you
Knowing you never was my angel

ponder half full or half empty
alas the sin is to be petty,
its a void sensationally endless
comprehending for the heartless
the story lingers in the background
if there ever is one
its transporter the willy karma
the manifestation of a persona.
