Love is a beautiful feeling, but sometimes it fades away. Falling out of love can be painful, but it can also inspire poetry. In this article, we'll explore some of the best poetry about falling out of love.
The End of Love
When love ends, it can leave you feeling empty and lost. The poem "The End of Love" by Lang Leav captures this feeling perfectly:
"And just like that, love ended
the way it began - unexpectedly
and without warning."
This poem speaks to the suddenness of falling out of love. It can feel like everything is going well, and then suddenly, it's over.
The Pain of Letting Go
Letting go of someone you love can be one of the most difficult things you'll ever do. The poem "Letting Go" by Erin Hanson captures the pain of this experience:
"And in the end,
we were all just humans,
drunk on the idea
that love, only love,
could heal our brokenness."
This poem speaks to the idea that love can't always fix everything. Sometimes, you have to let go and move on.
The Numbness of Heartbreak
Heartbreak can leave you feeling numb and disconnected from the world around you. The poem "Heartbreak" by Rupi Kaur captures this feeling perfectly:
"i am water
soft enough
to offer life
tough enough
to drown it away"
This poem speaks to the duality of love and heartbreak. Love can bring life, but heartbreak can drown it all away.
The Long Road to Healing
Healing after falling out of love can be a long and difficult journey. The poem "Healing" by Nayyirah Waheed speaks to this experience:
"the work
is not
just to survive
but
to thrive
and to do so
with some passion
some compassion
some humor
and some style."
This poem speaks to the idea that healing is more than just surviving. It's about finding joy and passion in life again.
The Beauty of Moving On
While falling out of love can be painful, it can also lead to new beginnings. The poem "Begin Again" by Andrea Gibson speaks to the beauty of moving on:
"The world
gives you
so much pain
and here you are
making gold out of it."
