Break up Poems
Ride
by Ben Scott
Part of me suspected we would crash and burn
I just didn't know when
Part of me needed to get in that car with you then.
One hi
One sheepish smile
Such a nice day
for a ride.
Quickly you made me feel

No Love Lost
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
For several years I'd worked as a life coach, assisting clients day by day,
Like blazing colors in the shank of the evening, chases deep blues away.
It was an occupation that I enjoyed, as helping others is very rewarding,
Like gardeners who labor long, for the artless beauty nature's awarding.
Next to my home was a blooming park, embroidered with spring greens,
With blue, pink and redbirds in lacy treetops, that were forever singing.
I enjoyed strolling and sitting there, mainly during the balmier weather,

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;

Masked
by Amelia Pond
A mask of smiles covers over years of heartbreak.
Silent screams begging to be free.
An old heart not healed by time.
Time will only heal if let to heal,
Emotions masked will bury deep and stay inside,
Escaping time and lasting long beyond their days.
We Don't Know How To Say Goodbye
by Anna Akhmatova
We don't know how to say good-bye
We wander on, shoulder by shoulder.
Already the sun is going down.
You're moody, I am your shadow.
Let's step inside a church and watch
baptisms, marriages, masses for the dead.
Why are we different from the rest?
Outdoors again, each of us turns his head.

Similies For You
by Hemangi Mali
Like the premonsoon rains,
You came in, unannounced.
Like the front page of a newspaper, you were filled with casualties and bad news.
Yet I wanted to read every single word of it, knowing it would hurt.
Like the ruins of a place were your words.
Beautiful, but decaying in hindsight.
Like a favourite song played on loop only to hate it later on, was my presence to you.
