Poetry Blogs (relationship breakup)

When you walked out of my life
nothing really felt the same
I walked around the streets in the darkness 
looking for someone to blame
The windows of my eyes blacked out
The doors of my mind shut
I decided who was worth saving during the cut

I saw the end coming 
Feeling lonely, but not alone
Hearing you speak your Irish goodbye on the telephone
The mermaids siren song you sung
Now fel...

Searching for you

You’re the word

On the tip of my tongue

- tip - tip – tick – tock

You’re the face on my clock

Yes!

You’re the catch in my breath

Like if I was to cough

Words of you

Would just tumble out

Like if I was to shout

Words of you

Would just rumble out

You’re built into my skull

You’re the clutch over my brain

You’re running through my veins

A perfect match - strike anywhere.

A perfect love - what happened there?

I walked away without a care,

but turned and tripped on your last stare.

When I think of you, I am flooded with a million emotions
A wave
A wave so big it could take out the world
My world 
And that it did
I haven’t been the same since I met you. 
I’m part to blame for that
You are quick on your feet
Charming, witty, and handsome
Oh so handsome
I opened the flood gates 
I welcomed in the storm
The perfect storm that you are 
But little did i know it was hu...

I try to ignore the gaps between us

But I fail miserably

This vacuum too huge and anti-gravity everywhere

When I'm rooted you're soaring

I would be lying if I say it didn't hurt

Cause it hurts like daggers to my heart

We may have our differences

But in the end it's hard to say goodbye

Spaces between us, grins before

Now forced smiles and chuckles

Hoping for the best i...

WINDSWEPT FEATHERS

never seem
to learn
same old
patterns
each time
we speak
tear off
another piece
keep pulling
at threads
unravelling
instead
unable to
stitch back
torn
scraps
lost
thimble
was a
symbol
completely worn
through
that much
is true
hard to
leave
this blanket
over me
not easy
to quit
quilt that
i knit
bed we made
no longer fits it
realize
in the

I'm the salt
You're the wound

Can you feel me digging in?
Do you feel how I feel?

Let's be honest for a moment
We have all done it for that special person

"Done it" as in losing it all for that one chance
The chance to walk with them in the sun

Well, my special someone left me 
With a sunburn and a heartache

Left me stranded there on the sun
Waiting for her return

Skin...

I have:

a letter from you. It is typed,

in Times New Roman, font 12.

Your way of saying goodbye.

I never got to say anything back.

Face to face,

we only knew how to laugh

at each other. No point in being serious,

it can’t be serious.

I read it once and never again

because I know exactly what you mean

when you say it’s like leaping back into a hedge of thorns.

On...

Saw you again

over the wine and canapés,

and it was as though you

were dead to me all over again.

Your shining eyes were locked

with some other bloke’s and I

thought, ‘Shite, not again.’

Except there is no again,

and it’s my well-crafted lie

to believe that you were alive

to me. Then you came over and said ‘Hi’;

I echoed the same, lamely,

and you said how g...

Broke

I relish the darkness of the night,

Its cloying blackness like a friend

who will not leave you till the end

and walks behind you, out of sight.

The solemn fading of the light

covers the cracks that will not mend.

I relish the darkness of the night,

it’s cloying blackness like a friend.

My life was always fresh and bright,

a silver sixpence, yet to...

The heat of a sultry summers day

and the news wasn’t good,

you were going away.

Vow’s made by the lovers brook

are just trickling memories

of a love that you took.

A heart that once was full of life

is now but an empty shell

on the edge of a knife.

A vignette, closing in on a world,

as into the deep dark abyss

my mind was hurled.

Dreams and g...

You sent me a dear john letter today
That was cover in poison ivy
I knew in that moment
My world was about to end.

As I open the letter with shaking hands
With anxiety filling my lungs
My darkest fears was realize
As I read the blood ink words.

You've met someone else
Someone better than me
But I couldn't believe
The evil that was going on behind close doors.

Laying in bed
Thinking of you
You're in bed
Laying wi...

I really think you should cherish our time 
Before all the clocks finally hit midnight 
Can't you see I'm still holding your hand 
I wanna let go but I'm too scared to move.

Our future seems eerily blurry 
A ghostly fog leading to the unknown 
Raging thunderstorms covering the sky 
Dozens of raindrops over our heads. 

It's summer but everything is cold 
I can't see you in the darkness
Si...
