Breakup Poems
Sterile
by Tyler Morello
A fountain of pheromones, a bath in bleach,
Amorous anesthesia puts me to sleep.
Amoxicillin sex disinfects, leaving nothing unclean.
Cold, white, and sterile, like a hospital wall.
Find myself embracing paracetamol,
A creosote touch, but it's much more than just the usual call.
It leaves me wondering,
"What happens when poison expires?"

Fifteen Minute Moodswings
by Callie Hayes
Change happens so fast
After all, it's only been a month
You're no longer the same girl
You're not the girl I loved
I can't bear to say your name
It's too hard to even speak
In so many different ways
you've made me feel so weak
......
Platonic Love
by PYG's Whisper
True love never dies
Loyal souls never change
Don’t distort the beauty of fairy tales
Don’t blame it on life
Don’t blame it on you
Don’t fake your heart
‘Cause I won't do
Thought you were my angel
So I gave you my wings
Now you're ready to fly?

Isn't it ironic?
by Derrick Nolan
Isn't it ironic?
As you would lay awake at night thinking of him, I would lay awake thinking of you. The times when I would call you and you wished it was him. How I'd take you to restaurants, then you’d take him to the same ones. The moments I would kiss your neck and you’d quiver with your eyes shut imagining it was his lips and not mine.
Isn’t it ironic?
You broke me the same way he broke you. The moments I’d embrace you in my arms and look into your eyes and see a future, possibilities, and compassion. Yet you looked into mine and saw nothing. Because I wasn’t him. No matter how hard I wanted to be I couldn't be him, and no matter how hard you tried you couldn't make yourself believe it.
Breakup at 8:00pm - Friday September 13th, 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
I have breakup at eight tonight
It's in my calendar. Look!
From eight to nine tonight: an appointment
With the title: "Breakup". That's what it says.
At eight tonight
Is when she will end it.
She didn't say as much but I already know
Why we're getting together earlier than usual
What we'll be doing and

The uncertain suspicion
by Mario Odekerken
It began as a whisper,
a thought too small to hold.
A vague shadow,
hiding in the corners of my heart.
I did not seek it,
but it found me.
Every glance,every word
made the doubt grow into shape,
into a face.

もう、あなたを認識できないみたい
by Nad Sof
もう、あなたを認識できないみたい。
あなたの瞳は、もう私の心をドキドキさせないし、
あなたの笑顔は、あの日みたいに輝かなくなった。
最初に恋したあなたとは、もう違う気がする。
なんだか、私たちは遠くなってしまった気がするけれど、
でも、それを言うには早すぎるのかな？
出会ってから、まだ数週間しか経っていないのに、
すぐにあなたに恋して、
そして、すぐに愛が冷めてしまった。

Glue
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
Time stands dorment since you left
I can't moved forward
Nor do I want to
My desire is to be with you once more
But it's impossible to do so
Everybody is racing around
Trying to get ahead
Not realising my pain
I don't know how to explain my feelings
As the heartache grabs my chest
......
Paper Cut
by Meg H
The feeling lingers
A paper cut between the fingers
We both know that it's over
But I think we're over thinkers
This ground that we're breaking
Sometimes feels like we're mistaking
This pain we feel, for love
But then it's love that we are making
We are one under the sheets
But then lay shattered in the streets
