Heartache Poems
False Religion
by Erica Scott
And as the letters of my name curl beneath your lips,
I hope they burn like vinegar and drip down your chin.
I hope the thought of who I am wraps your skull like the crown of thorns you love to nag about
When you crucify my reputation,
I hope you think of the religion you announce so proud.
Tell me, does Jesus lie to save himself?

Each night, the weeping
wails and moans
a heart crushed
lonely and in pain
Whirling fans
whistle white noise
even with ears plugged
sadness shan't be silenced

A Love Song
by William Carlos Williams
What have I to say to you
When we shall meet?
Yet—
I lie here thinking of you.
The stain of love
Is upon the world.
Yellow, yellow, yellow,
It eats into the leaves,
Smears with saffron

Heartache Avenue
by Mario Odekerken
Down Heartache Avenue
the lights flicker low,
each step echoes
without memories
I didn't choose to keep.
Windows reflect
faces I once knew,
laughter fades
into a silence

Hard to love Easy to forget
by Carlos Garcia
Why am I here again
Time after time after time
Why have tears become an abundance
Time after time after time
Why does failure always stay and accomplishment always go

Things that Fade Quietly
by J.P. Madrid
I think I started forgetting you
on a Wednesday afternoon,
somewhere between folding laundry
and listening to the rain tap the window.
It didn’t hurt,
not at first.
Just a small,
unnoticeable shift in the weather.
You were never mine.

Loop
by J.P. Madrid
Nothing makes me happier than her—
the way her name feels
like a sunrise pressed into my chest,
how her laugh
sounded like something I used to pray for
before I knew how to put it into words.
And nothing makes me sadder than her—
the way she became
a recurring character in poems

Unbidden Echoes
by Mario Odekerken
I strive to cast your shadow from my mind,
yet there you dwell,in corners hard to find.
Like whispers woven through the silent air,
your presence lingers,haunting everywhere.
I chase new dawns to wash you from my sight,
but memories emerge with morning's light.
In dreams, you wander through my night's domain,
a phantom tethered to my heart's refrain.
