Break up sad love poems tend to be the most pure and raw in emotion, often dominating others poems in their beautiful imagery and style. Poems about breaking up is something nearly all of us can relate to, because unfortunately many relationships come to an end.
The emotion we see in these poems happens for a variety of reasons, but most likely because a break up is one of the most emotionally painful experiences you can have. The emotions that come to play can involve anything from extreme sadness to anger and resentment.
While some may argue that it’s no good to wallow in the misery of ending a relationship with someone you love, writing a break up poem can also be a critical part in the healing process it takes to mend a broken heart.
We’ve written a few sad breaking up poems you might like below:
Should Have Known Better
Should have known better than to trust a friend
should have known it would come to an end
all those things you were telling me
are nothing more than a memory
you have no idea what you’ve done to me
to tell me one day you love me
and the next you break up with me
it’s sick when I think
of all the things we went through
to find out it means nothing to you
how could I have been so blind
when it seemed you were so kind
your words are twisted up inside
my head and they won’t stop
echoing that you’re leaving
What Makes Love Stop?
What makes you stop
loving someone one day?
Do you just wake up
and say, Okay
I’ve had enough of this?
Do you think it through?
Or is it something you just do?
Does it come from boredom?
Is it just something dumb
you’ve done and will regret someday?
How could you say you love me
and now you say you don’t
doesn’t love mean anything to you
you shouldn’t say words that aren’t true
No Tears
You say no tears
as you wipe mine away
like if you don’t see them
they’re not there
You tell me you’re sorry
that you didn’t want to hurt me
but if you meant that
we wouldn’t be here
I can’t believe a word you say
you think a kiss will make it all okay
but everything you’ve done to me
isn’t enough to say sorry
You can’t take away tears
when you’re the one
who gave them to me.
Picking Up Where You Left
Where you left
there is a mess
a box of memories
spilled to the floor
and me
drowning in the middle
of it all
Letting Go
Letting go
is the hardest part
the part where
you never know
when to draw the line
between ending and over
quitting and done,
wanting and denial
Letting go
is the brink of loneliness
and the edge of all i have known
the part where
you wish you knew
the right words to say
Letting go
is that awkward time
when you can’t make yourself
say goodbye.
To Say It
To say
I love you
almost
means
nothing
when i’ve gone
and blown up
emotions
pieces need picked up
vacuumed
collected
mounted on the wall
to say
I love you
almost means nothing
when I don’t
feel it
