5 Best poems about the broken heart: TUC’s Collection

What makes your heart beat? A deep conversation? A touch? The warmth? The comfort? The promises? Good memories? It is the humans that understand what their heart wants and what their heart feels. While we love a person with all our heart, it takes only a second to break it in a thousand ways. Here, on TUC, we have written on a vast number of topics, and poems about the broken heart is one of those.

Loving someone is a wonderful feeling. It brings happiness, comfort, and satisfaction. A broken heart, on the flipside, oozes out a pool of hurt, anger, anguish, pain, misery, and countless other feelings. That is life. You cannot escape. It is the law of nature. Some days are sunny while others are rainy. The important thing is that whatever happens, we should accept and move on. We live and heal over time.

In this post, we will talk about the top 5 poems published on TUC that are related to the broken heart. The following poems are dark and were written to vent out the inner misery and pain due to the heartbreak.

#1 – Best in me: A Broken Heart

One of the intense poems about the broken heart. It talks about a bad and broken relationship where a person gave his heart and soul, but the other person used him. The poem showcases that the person is still stuck in the pain and misery of the broken relationship, but hopes to come out of it one day.

I’ve been here
all alone
Forever here
all alone

You came in like an angel
and left me with a broken heart,
I don’t know
why I’m lost in your thoughts
when I’ve come so far?

Forever,
I am left broken in pieces,
the hurt, misery, and the scars you gave,
are now part of my screeches

The truth haunts
and life hurts
as I try to breathe in,
the river of happiness
flows beside me
but the sadness drowns me in.

I punish myself
the times I lose control,
I can fight
the dark times,
but the emptiness
keeps me from standing bold

I see you laughing
at the honesty, I now bleed,
I need you to stomp me
till the best in me, hiding,
gets back on its feet

#2 – Sorrow: The Heart Speaks

A poem about sorrow. The poem talks about the after-effects of the broken relationship where pain and misery accompany the person every single day.

A day goes wasted again,
A day when I failed myself again,
I want to let go of you and survive,
But my heart speaks the truth of my denial.

I can’t see beyond the thoughts of you,
I can’t talk beyond the love you gave,
I want to let go of this pain,
But my heart speaks the truth of my dismay.

A pendulum I’ve become,
Moving my wish from you to the void,
A storm that never concludes,
And my heart shows the side I hide.

Embracing the moon that radiates silver lines,
Streams of hope in the dark,
I stand with my eyes closed and pray,
But my heart speaks of the voyage I already embarked.

Looking back to find me again,
A soul lost in the hurt you gave,
I lose myself as I see it again,
As his heart speaks of the sorrow you engraved.

#3 – Miserable Life: A Never Ending Story

A poem that talks about depression and how it can create a communication gap and thus differences in a relationship. In depression, a person is continuously fighting his/her own demons and is not able to share the feelings with the loved ones. Many times this creates unintentional differences in a relationship leading to a broken heart.

Sitting and watching the tides roar,
my boat is still stranded on the same shore.
The grey skies,
remind me of the unsaid goodbyes,
a never-ending story of my life

The infinite years, so hard
and that haunted past,
I found and lost you,
when the days were dark.
A never-ending pain infused in my heart

Inside the subconscious and the dark alleys,
the pictures of you still remain,
seeing you sink,
I drowned and never forgave.
A never-ending misery I still live

The crimson of love,
the cold surface beneath my feet,
the dark side of me,
destroyed what was between you and me.
A never-ending reality

I loved you as you were
and I watched it all fall apart,
a void, a hole in my heart,
a smile,
a never-ending masquerade of my own devise

Black blood in my veins,
the hurricane in my head,
suffocated, I’m devoid of breath.
Wilted, I’m standing on the edge,
never-ending life and I fight for the end

#4 – Hurting Cupid: Bruised Love

A poem about a person who is unfortunate when it comes to love. No matter how hard he tries, he is always left devoid of love and with a broken heart.

Two years ago, the first time I saw you,
and you were as beautiful as the morning dew.

I saw you sleeping on a couch,
and my heart skipped a beat beyond any doubt.

I held myself for a moment to think,
for my past was dark and floating in ruins.

But I took a chance again,
and expressed those feelings, and just how I felt.

You looked into my eyes and gave a nod,
then took my hands to approve my thoughts.

It was a beautiful moment etched in time,
and we were ready to explore the road to a wonderful life.

We were cute and bright like shining stars,
we were so intoxicated that we never saw the dark.

But the fate had to open up my scars,
as this world separated us from each other’s arms.

Don’t know why life plays a fool out of me?
and why it always takes away the love I need?

Now that we are far away, living a lie,
we want closure but can’t escape the life, we always denied.

Don’t know what the future has in store for us?
I know we will still move on, for time is the ultimate healer.

My heart will ache till the last breath,
wish I could go back to block that arrow of the hurting Cupid.

#5 – Scotch: A Friend In Solitude

One of the poems that truly brings out the essence of the broken heart and how it feels to be alone. The poem is about lost love and the pain it brings. It showcases how the affected person uses intoxication as a tool to control the helplessness and misery and tries to win over his dark thoughts

Cars drive by across the lane,
the rain trickles down my windowpane,
the night is getting colder
but, I’m still sober

The thoughts cloud me with the sound of your voice,
not sure, what I’m doing with my life
I need to get out of my shell,
I need a scotch to intoxicate myself

We are miles apart from mind and heart,
it’s been years since we chose different paths
Oh, then why those memories shake my mind?
Why your pictures still don’t burn with time?

I don’t want to turn the pages of the book that was torn,
I still shout your name for reasons unknown
Yeah, I need to get it all out of my head
I need a scotch to intoxicate myself

I light the cigar and lay back on the couch,
I hear silence reverberating around the house
The rings of smoke fade into thin air,
like the hope floating in despair

A sip and it soothes my heart,
my mind goes numb and erases the scars
I’ve got to find a way to fight this hell,
I need a scotch to intoxicate myself

Intoxicate me tonight,
so that tomorrow’s a bright new sunshine
I don’t want to let go of this life,
but want to erase the memories by which I’m victimized

My friend in melancholic times,
the healer of my dark vibes,
my path to the paradise,
Scotch I need, to intoxicate myself tonight
