This is a poem I wrote about breaking up with my boyfriend Andrew whom I still loved very much.

I love you but it's time to go
You took my heart you took my soul
I gave you my life I gave you my all
But you're making me stumble, you're making me fall.

Please don't be upset, please don't fight
Because in the end it will be alright
You may be mad at me at first
But understand this is not meant to hurt

Know that I love you and I still care
I think those feeling will always be there
I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna cry
But it's time for us to say good-bye

You'll thank me in the end, believe me I know
But right now all you can think of is I'm letting go.
You've made me happy, you've made me cry,
Sometimes you kept me from wanting to die.

Please never forget me, I'll always be there,
Call me up if you have something to share.
I don't know if I'll ever see you again,
But know in my eyes we'll always be friends.

So touching. I really like this poem. You were willing to let something very dear to you go.

That was really nice, now you've got me wondering if that's the way it was for my ex.. Hrmm..I don't think it was, *giggle* he had someone new by the end of the week

Well done, it was nicely written.

I know what you're going through. My last boyfriend did the same thing to me and we are now "just friends". Read my poem Goos Bye KIss and feel better!

That was a really good explanation of breaking up and how hard it is. Can I ask why you broke up with him? It seems like you didn't want to but you made yourself for some reason. What was it? Nicely done!!

kari beat me to it.....this poem needs one thing to be complete...a motive...the reader is just left wondering.......WHY?

Long story. I wasn't supposed to be dating him because he was into anything and everything, so when my parents found out we were going out, I really didn't have a choice but to break up with him. We were going through some problems anyway, and I was realizing that it was wrong for us to be together even though I did still love him. Should I try to put all that in the poem???

Yea, you should probably try to include at least some of that in you poem. It kind of leaves the reader hanging, but sometimes that can be good. I'll leave it up to you.

I'll try to put the story in it. It'll be hard because I wrote it about a year ago right before we broke up and I had all sorts of emotions running through me. Since we've been broken up for a year, it'll be difficult going back. Although I did just have some recent dealings with him that were hard, so I'll just go back with that. Should I just write a separate poem about why???
