I wrote a lot of poetry when I discovered that my ex boyfriend had cheated on me. It is hardly the stuff of great writers but I found that it really helped me to cope with what I was going through.

Heartbreak 1.

Drilling a hole through my head and my heart,
That's how I've felt since you tore us apart.
Feeling so numb, yet feeling the pain,
Don't know how I can love another again.

My path once seemed happy, green, full of light,
Now the path darkens, black as the night.
I stumble through helplessly, nowhere to go,
My mind it torments me, the images grow.

Now I must choose between my head and my heart,
Whether, together, we go or we part.
The hardest decision I've had to make,
All because, my heart, you did break.

Heartbreak 2

Like a knife slashing through your skin,
You feel so hurt within.
Like loss of breath, a sharp intake,
You lie in bed yet still awake.

Your mind wanders, you feel the pain,
You put yourself through that again.
You can’t move on, you cant forget,
You want to hold that love you met.

You cant move on, you know its true,
He’s with her, he’s not with you.
The hope has gone, you have to hide,
The love you believe you feel inside.

Heartbreak 3

Moments pass me by.
Alone and scared,
I wonder why
You’re not here beside me.
Then I remember.

The pain and suffering
You caused me.
Alone and crying,
I wish you were here.
Then I remember.

Cycles occurring in my head,
Imagination running wild.
You in her bed,
While I lie asleep in vain.
I don’t want to remember.

Breakup song

Twisted lies which you spun from inside,
Now my heart I'm determined to hide.
In nobody else will I try to confide,
Too many nights that I lay there and cried.

You are the one I love with all of my heart,
I never did think you would tear us apart.
It was all so amazing right from the start,
You were the one who stole my heart.

I hate the way

I hate the way you want to know whats always on my mind
I hate the way when we're apart you seem to be unkind.
I hate the way you lie to me so easily each day
I hate the way when I get pissed off you always know what to say.

I hate the way you make me feel that Im not in the right
I hate the way my being concerned always turns into a fight.
I hate the way you kiss me and make my body melt
I hate the way it makes me forget how angry I felt.

I hate the way I dont want to lose you, no matter what you do.
But most of all, I hate the way, despite all this, I still love you.

(based on the infamous poem from 10 things I hate about you, but my words)

Downward spiral

Evil thoughts twist my mind
The world I long to leave behind.
Darkness clings on, blinds me deep
I long for everlasting sleep.

Hurt etches through me,
blinding me, consuming me.
I long to push those away
Who caused me pain throughout the day.

Memories, thoughts never end
My mind, it will not ever mend.
Too many occasions have caused me pain
I never want to feel again.
