I know you've hurt me
I know you've lied
But I still love you
No matter what I try

I miss you more than words can say
I need you a little more with each passing day
I miss you so much
Your smiles
Your kisses
Your hand being in mine
I miss the utter bliss
The way you held me when I cried
The way you would gently push the hair out of my face

Remember how we would hold eachother for hours on end?
I would lay my head upon your chest and we stare into eachothers eyes.
You would tell me how lucky you were to have me not just as a lover but also as a best friend.

Those days are gone
I need to let go
But no matter what I do
I keep holding on to you

You are everywhere
Whether in my dreams
Or wide awake
I can't stand this pain
I dont even know how much more
I will be able to take

You broke my heart
What more can I say
You ripped my dreams apart
But how much longer is the hurt going to stay?

It takes only a minute to like someone, a hour to love someone, but a lifetime to forget them.

I can relate to this poem.  I really did like it, had a lot of expression.  Keep your head up, things will get better with time.  Keep up the great work.

I really liked this one. The emotion was definitely there.

I can definitely relate to this. Love's never treated me kindly. All I can say is don't let it get you down. There's always..someone out there. There's gotta be, right?

My heart was broken like this about three years ago... The pain is still there, but I have realized that we will never be together again, and I am better for it... it think.  The pain will go away.  Thanks for the poem.

Keep Smiling,

Three years ago you say? You need to do an exorcism or something. If you have any photos, burn them. It's the only way you'll ever get over him.
Sad piece but reality isn't a nice thing. Keep your head up and thanks for posting.

Who can't relate to this poem? The pain of a break up when you're the only one still in love is painful. It's even harder when there's a physical bond and an emotional bond. Time heals everything. Love is found again.

We write the script
Personality the pen
The final act the final part
We all will meet our end

Sounds like you're going through a rough time. I hope things get better for you. Good poem.

I'm sorry that you have to feel this kinda pain, Nikki.  But when you start feeling blue remember he wasn't the one for you and if you really try you'll finally decide that it's time to move on and he isn't worth your time!  I love you girl!
