I know what my heart is like
Since your love died:
It is like a hollow ledge
Holding a little pool
Left there by the tide,
A little tepid pool,
Drying inward from the edge.
Short sad poems about love
Short sad poems about love — no longer than 12 lines. Small texts you can read in a minute and remember just as easily.
To----
I heed not that my earthly lot
Hath--little of Earth in it--
That years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute:--
I mourn not that the desolate
Are happier, sweet, than I,
But that you sorrow for my fate
Who am a passer-by.
Missing
I walk up
and down and miss
everything that passes:
love
and water
and her troubled mind.
The treaties
which made me laugh.

Today was a good day.
I didn't flinch when they brought your name up.
I didn't show any sign that I even remotely missed you,
I didn't give them any ounce that I still care about you, that you still keep me up at night, that I can still feel your lips on mine own, that even though I'm alone in the darkness I'm not,
Because you are there with me.
I didn't tell them that even though it's been months since we went our separate ways that I still love you.
I didn't say a word.
Because today was one of my good days without you.
BFFs
don't trust me when i say we're best friends
or we wear matching necklaces
or i say i'd rather spend time with you than anyone else
because nothing lasts forever and
love can be
faked
unrequited
empty
Replacement
and she's already talking to someone else
pretty and funny and full of witty conversation
they're just phone calls and text messages
but every ring sends an ache in my heart
a jolt down my spine
i can feel it looming just over the horizon
the inevitable distancing as i'm once again left behind
for a shiny new toy
The Duellists
Let us walk away then
In steps, measured
In directions, opposite.
But, turn -
At paces twelve
For love is a duel -
And look at each other
For the very last time.

I saw you again,
Holy shit.
The feelings tried to crawl back but I didn't let them,
Not this time.
But damn was it hard,
Damn how much I wanna love you,
Damn how much I wanna hold you,
But that can't happen, it won't, and I know it never will.
show me
Please..
Show me how to love,
What's it feel like to have love?
Show me how to get back the light,
It's already so dimmed.
Save yours for me,
Don't ruin yourself for me,
Don't end up like me.
B U T
We want to be in relation but its too early at this age
We want to mend the things we broke but now its too late.
We were so in love but we were never actually meant.
my love, How can we go at this rate?
She reasoned, she explained
"but" is now the word he hates.
Fate wrote on their final episode "but" instead of "the end"
Hilarious how some stories break in the middle of a sentence.
After Death
Now while my lips are living
Their words must stay unsaid,
And will my soul remember
To speak when I am dead?
Yet if my soul remembered
You would not heed it, dear,
For now you must not listen,
And then you could not hear.
In a Railroad Station
We stood in the shrill electric light,
Dumb and sick in the whirling din
We who had all of love to say
And a single second to say it in.
"Good-by!" "Good-by!"--you turned to go,
I felt the train's slow heavy start,
You thought to see me cry, but oh
My tears were hidden in my heart.
