Breakup Poems
110. Lukewarm
by Kea Campbell
The lake plays with twilight, seeping amber and rose,
it paints a faint reflection before the dark of night grows.
Your fingers brush near mine, steady and hushed,
beneath the slow fading light, folding time leisurely, not rushed.
Windows rolled down, our music sweeping through the streets,
carrying the laughter and words we were too nervous to speak.
You harmonized to my melody, two lives syncretic-ally strummed,
Every refrain folded us closer into our own world of young love.

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?

For all my wrongdoings
by Derrick Nolan
I’ll forgive myself
For loving you over me
When I needed love
For convincing you
That you were what I wanted
When I was unsure
For making conflict
When you deserved compassion

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?"

In de tuin van onze liefde
by Mario Odekerken
In de tuin van onze liefde,
waar ooit de bloemen bloeiden
en alles met innerlijke aandacht groeide,
hing de lucht stil van vertrouwen.
Jouw blik was toen nog thuis,
je handen nog bekend,
je woorden nog geworteld in waarheid.
Maar tussen de rozen

My biggest mistake
by Mario Odekerken
My biggest mistake
was loving you
with all the parts of me
I should have saved.
I gave you silence
when you needed truth,
patience
when you gave me distance,
hope

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。
