This poem is about acceptance, acceptance that a love once shared is now gone, over. Sometimes, it’s a thing we see coming. There are even times when we know that the end has come but we try our best to shove it away.
A poem of love ending without saying goodbye. A love that was and left you hanging like a floating cloud, empty and heavy.
A poem full of loneliness and pain, a goodbye that should have been said but courage has walked away. It too has leafy me along with your love.
Trying to come up with the words to reflect how your heart feels may seem impossible, but check out 1Love Poems’ collection of love poem to keep you inspired.

I’ve been sitting here for hours,
And not a word is written yet,
Tears stream down my face in showers,
And the page is soaking wet,
And each line I try to write down,
I scribble out in regret,
But I know it’s over now.
I wasn’t brave enough to say it
To your face when you were here,
I had to wait until you went out,
Until I tried to disappear,
And even this heartless coward,
Sits here, choking back the tears,
But I know it’s over now.
We’ve tried to rhyme, so many times
The words fit fine, the melody’s no good,
If we’re talking the same language,
How come I never understood, never understood.
Yester year kisses, hugs and glances,
Current day tears, and final chances … romance is dead
Dismissive shrugs, don’t really miss each other
Pretend we still care, but no longer lovers …
Just friends instead.
And as I walk out to the door,
Past smiling photos from before,
That’s not you and me,
It’s just history
Can’t find a reason to delay it,
There’s just no easy way to say it,
But I know it’s over now.
