Most Commented Lost Love Poems (2,650)

In the stillness of night I search all corners
of my room for you - and yet!
in my heart of hearts

I know you are gone -
gone forever and ever

I caress the pears that fall languid
over my breasts
the pearls you bought me

You would say - no 'English Lady'
should ever be without a string of pearls

You liked me to wear them in bed
where they would lay luminous against
my naked flesh

In this room of solitude and silence
a long shuddering sob escapes my mouth
expelled into the fetid airless room

My hands caress where once your hands caressed
I fall asleep clutching the pearls.

If I could, write for you
A poem, so so deep
Where I drowned
In a sea of words
And all my emotions
Washed in waves
Of fresh
Beginnings
Saw a new future
On the crest of hope
And the past
Was a distant horizon
So far
Left behind
In the green
And bitter cold sea
Of envy

Tears flow onto my pen
And form a pool
Of remembrance
Of the life
The love
And memories
That drifted
Across many oceans
Of comforting warmth
Seducing me
To “Let go”
And live

If I could, turn back
The ever advancing tide
Of regret
That clings to me
Dragging me ever deeper
Where I continuously wallow
In the black whirlpool
Of self-pity
That foreboding
Dark place
Where history shows
It has claimed
So many
And released
So “Few”

If I could
If I could
For just one more day
Remember the love
Rediscover the passion
And
Relive the dream
Then I would gladly
Spend the rest of my days
Drowning, in a lake
I would name
“Humility”

I couldn't get you off my mind,
I failed no matter how hard I tried,
So I buried you deep inside,
I made a container,
A box of emotion,
With a warning label,
"DO NOT OPEN",
Tied with strings from a
heart that was broken,
Then placed in the bottom
of the deepest hole
With many other memories of old,
It's true somewhere,
I guess I still care,
At least on the surface,
You're no longer there...

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we never got to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you..
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too..
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand..
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
It seemed my place was ready - In Heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind, those things I dearly love..

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you..
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad..
I thought of all the love we shared, and how much fun we had..
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say goodbye, then kiss you ‘til I saw that special smile..

But then I fully realized, that it could never be,
'Cause emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of all those things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. .
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great & golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day is the same day, there's no longing for the past. .
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were some times you did some things you shouldn't do. .

But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,
So come and take me by the hand, and share my life with me.."
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'll be right there - in your Heart..

I wear your slippers...
At least two sizes too big for my feet ,
I throw on your old faded Hefner robe,
Feeling empty,alone, a vague sense of defeat.

But I put your slippers on in the morning..
And shuffle through,what it is,
I have to do.
And so I wear your slippers,
Simply, to take a walk in your shoes.

And when I go to bed at night..
I put on that old American Eagle t- shirt
That you practically lived in too,
And I do this quite simply,
Because it reminds me of you.

And when I dream at night..
I hold your pillow so close to me..
And I breathe in, and sigh contentedly,
Dreaming of the way it used to be.

`Heart-aches and pains, the derelics of love. Now no-longer twained, feeling rejected and shoved! Hopes that are shattered, pieced to the floor. Emotionally bruised and battered, pained to the core. Drained of its substance, heart left for dead. This, my mind distant, thoughts desert my head. Void now of emotions, a soul gone cold. I have the notion, i am all alone. My heart, my heart, shattered and so sore! Loveless:- its a dearth; empty flesh, nothing more. Once love did blossom, another soul it adored. It vacated this bussom; love, don't live here anymore!

I'm sorry darlin'
Never knew what I
had
til..
I lost you..
It took so long
for me to change..
to understand..
I wander through these
streets tormented with
what could have been..
Remember those days
darlin?'
I guess I have no right
to say these things..
I drink a bit to much
these days but it helps
dull the pain..
I saw you with your new
guy the other day..
You seem so happy..
What can I say?
Leaning on this lamp post
I light a damp cigarette
in the pouring rain..
In all this rain no one
notices my tears..
On Thursday's I hang out
on the old bridge where
first met..
Remember those days darlin?'
You were so beautiful to me..
Why must I pay such a terrible
price?
What was I thinking?
What was anything precious?
Do you know?
Do you have any idea I my
heart burns with grief laying
on my bed?
But I must go on..
I must do something..
If God could reach down into
your heart and make you see
all my pain..my sorrow..
my emptiness..
If only my love..if only.
Just give me one more chance
to look into your eyes and
say what needs to be said..
Please darlin.' let me kneel
before you and say..
I'm sorry darlin.'

I miss you like a part of me
That I never thought Id ever see
I never knew or even cared
I'd become numb and never dared
Think there could ever, ever be
Someone that enchanted me
The way you did, or make me see
There could be more to life than levity
I'd become numb and walled my heart
Not wanting it to be again split apart
My pain was endless, but I bared it alone
Got used to it as it seeped into every bone
My mind could not ease out the pain
You entered in like good morphaine
My mind at ease and then in ecstasy
As I hallucinated you being with me
You were the drug...my drug of choice
I loved your laugh and adored your voice
your moral compass and tact
I loved to chat...I respected all that
I loved you then. I love you now
The emptiness you created makes me vow
To never let my guard down again
I loved you and also was your good friend
As time went on you would not even that allow
My consciousness and abilities wained somehow
My drug of choice you took away
I can barely get threw the next day
Your face and smile and laugh I miss
I longed to hold you and then to kiss
No thoughts of lust or greed or self
I only wanted to make you happy and make you smile
Perhaps to love and have you love me back for a while
Really I wanted to grow old with you
To make you smile and laugh til we both knew
We were meant to be together for ever
Grow old to the grave and forsake you never

a laugh, a smile, a sweet sentence of kind words, could brighten a day or change a life.

I am languishing in a sailboat with no wind,
between the sea of self pity and the bay of dispair.
My only companions the half empty wine bottles.
I have no energy as I know not what course
to take and have no chart to guide my way.
My only Destination is the golden haired girl
and I know not how to plot a path to her inner shore.
I angonize and think with shattered heart and
blurred vision that I took a wrong direction.
Perhaps I steered by the stars and misread
the Constellations in the night sky.
Perhaps I steered blindly towards her not
seeing the reefs and other obstacles as
I was blinded by her beauty and hastened
with undo care or forethought.
I think endlessly of going back and planning
my journey to her heart with safety and care
but know I can not retrace my passage and
actually start again to find the golden haired girl.
In my haste I have lost my bearings, lost my
oars, compass and have almost lost my mind.
I languish in my sorrow and will do so tomorrow
for I can not yet forge an escape plan that
will get me to the island of the golden haired girl
or to the far reaches of her kind and lovely heart.
I must endure this forever or until I can
wonder thru the storms and waves and finally
find that foolproff plan for all else is folly
I even furiously look for a floating bottle that
has the solution in note such is my desperation..
My good friends the half empty wine bottles
give me advice as I slowly savour their
ideas and inspirations. I can only wonder
what will happen once their ability to advise
is done .As a mortal man with all my wits
I was not able to attain my one and only
true love :The beautiful golden haired girl.
I will never be able to live in peace or
harmony without her.
Without her there is no reason to sail
Without her there is no reason to seek land
Without her there is Nothing but a black
empty void which once was my soul.
I must float untethered in this sea of remorse
hoping for a guiding gale that will never come.
