Break up Poems
Why should a foolish marriage vow
by Paul Durcan
Dear Nessa - Now that our marriage is over
I would like you to know that, if I could put back the clock
Fifteen years to the cold March day of our wedding,
I would wed you again and, if that marriage also broke,
I would wed you yet again and, if it a third time broke,
Wed you again, and again, and again, and again, and again:
If you would have me which, of course, you would not.
For, even you - in spite of your patience and your innocence
(Strange characteristics in an age such as our own)
- Even you require to shake off the addiction of romantic love

To My First Love
by Nad SZA
To my first love,
I've loved you since I was just 13,
When I heard your voice, my heart was keen.
Memories of our time together,
Still bring me joy, no matter the weather.
But guilt weighs heavy on my mind,
For what happened to us, so unkind,
I tried my best to prevent our fall,
But you still have a place in my heart, after all.

the strongest one is me
by Evnaul Fox
you think that you are strong
but i see right through you
your heart is a glass shell
hollow and empty, a ghost in hell
you wear your coldness like a badge
but an emotional fool is what you are
because you think that you are strong
when really you are not
you think that you are brave

Scornful nostalgia
by Tobias Winters
Dew doth drop with gentle hue,
On petals tinged a bashful blue,
As bees swoon to swollen pollen;
I crave back that view to fall in;
‘Tis you, ‘tis you.
As sea kisses the night sky,
Before day doth due the two goodbye,
I lie; a rock on thine tender shore;
And beg thou to crash upon forever more.

The Olive Theory
by Kate Coleman
I heard about this theory;
that in the perfect couple,
One will like olives, and the other will not.
One will always eat for the other.
I think that's why we never worked,
You proudly shouted your love for the salted fruit,
While I, meekly, passed mine to you.
You convinced that only you could possibly like them.
And I, well. I simply did not.
It wasn't until the end, the end of us;

Die onseker vermoede
by Mario Odekerken
Dit het begin as 'n fluister,
'n gedagte te klein om vas te hou.
'n Vaag skadu,
weggekruip in die hoeke van my hart.
Ek het dit nie gesoek nie,
maar dit het my gevind.
Elke kyk,elke woord
het die twyfel laat groei,
'n vorm gegee,

Die Unsichere Ahnung
by Mario Odekerken
Es began als ein Flüstern,
ein Gedanke,zu klein,um ihn zu fassen.
Ein vager Schatten,
verborgen in den Ecken meines Herzens.
Ich suchte nicht danach,
doch es fand mich.
Jeder Blick,jedes Wort
ließ den Zweifel wachsen,
zu einer Gestalt,

Het onzekere vermoeden
by Mario Odekerken
Het begon als een fluistering,
een gedachte te klein om vast te houden.
Een vage schaduw,
die zich verschool in de hoeken van mijn hart.
Ik zocht het niet,
maar het vond mij.
Elke blik,elk woord
liet de twijfel groeien tot een vorm,
tot een gezicht.

Shade Of Thee.
by Nad Sof
I will not grant that I yet remember thy scent,
Nor that thy smile once was bright as day.
I will not grant that I recall our first embrace,
The first kiss, the first confession.
I mind it all, but to speak it, I refuse.
Many have said:
"Thou dost seek in each new man the shade of him,"
And though it be true,
