The Poems
Poem 1. “The Echoes of Your Love” (Unknown)
“The echoes of your love still linger in the halls of my heart where the shadows of memories linger and the ghosts of our past never depart
I am left to wander, lost and alone in the darkness of your abandonment with only the echoes of your love to guide me through the emptiness”
Poem 2. “A Love Forsaken” (Edgar Allan Poe)
“Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered, weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping as of someone gently rapping at my chamber door
But it was not the gentle tapping of your loving hand, my dear it was the sound of my heart breaking as I realized you were not here”
Poem 3. “The Abandoned Heart” (Rupi Kaur)
“my heart is a heavy burden weighed down by the ghosts of our past it is a fragile thing, easily shattered like the promises you made that did not last
it is a delicate flower, easily bruised like the petals of a rose that has been crushed it is a flame that flickers, easily extinguished like the love we had that has been diminished”
Poem 4. “Lost and Alone” (Unknown)
“I am lost and alone in the dark without the guiding light of your love I am a ship without a rudder adrift in a sea of uncertainty
I am a bird without wings unable to fly, unable to soar I am a heart without a home left to wander, lost and alone”
Poem 5. “The Silence of Your Absence” (Pablo Neruda)
“The silence of your absence is a heavy weight that presses upon my heart, making it ache it is a silence that is deafening a silence that is oppressive, a silence that is cold
it is a silence that echoes through my soul a silence that whispers secrets, a silence that makes me whole it is a silence that is a reminder of the love we had, of the love we’ve lost”
Poem 6. “Forsaken Love” (Unknown)
“Forsaken love is a heavy burden that weighs upon my heart, making it ache it is a love that is unrequited a love that is unanswered, a love that is forsaken
it is a love that is lost, a love that is gone a love that has been abandoned, a love that has been wronged it is a love that will never be the same a love that will always remain”
Poem 7. “The Memories of You” (Unknown)
“The memories of you haunt me still like a ghost that refuses to depart they linger in the shadows of my mind a constant reminder of the love we had
they whisper sweet nothings in my ear of the love we shared, of the love we fear they taunt me with the possibilities of what could have been, of what we used to be”
Poem 8. “Abandoned Dreams” (Langston Hughes)
“Dreams that were once so bright and bold now lay shattered, like broken glass dreams that were once so full of promise now lay abandoned, like a worn-out pass
dreams that were once so full of hope now lay forgotten, like a lost rope dreams that were once so full of love now lay abandoned, like a withered dove”
Poem 9. “The Longing for You” (Unknown)
“The longing for you is a fire that burns deep a flame that flickers, a flame that yearns it is a hunger that gnaws at my soul a thirst that cannot be quenched, a need that cannot be whole
it is a cry in the darkness, a shout in the night a plea for you to come back, to make everything right it is a prayer that goes unanswered a prayer that is ignored, a prayer that is denied”
Poem 10. “The Absence of Your Love” (Unknown)
“The absence of your love is a void a hole that cannot be filled, a space that cannot be bridged it is a gap that cannot be crossed a chasm that cannot be traversed
it is a wound that cannot be healed a scar that cannot be erased it is a pain that cannot be soothed a heartache that cannot be assuaged”
