Heartbroken Poem To Help You Heal From The Break Up


By W.H. Davenport Adams

If you have ever been through a unhappy split with somebody you have love, you will have written a sad poem. You will have even written such a poem for stuff like the loss of a pet or a family member, unhappiness at moving away from your friends, or any quantity of sad life events. But it seems nothing impresses such unhappy poetry as a break-up or divorce. Just as few things evoke love poetry like being in a cheerful, loving relationship.

Poetry is a good medium for self-expression. Unless you're writing poems with the hope of having it made public one day, you can write poetry however you like. It does not need to be good poetry. You don't have to realize any of the poetic terms or conventions like rhyme, meter or free verse. You don't even have to have ever read a really good poem in your life to write a heartbroken poem that will help you feel better and maybe help you heal from the agony of a break-up.

An vital early step in getting over a split or any sad situation is simply facing the discomfort. Although it might feel better to avoid dealing with the actuality of the situation, you can't really move past it without facing it and feeling the discomfort, at least for a bit. So facing up to whatever distressing situation is happening is necessary. A sad poem can help you deal with those painful feelings when you've split with somebody you love.

Don't fret about whether it's good or not. No-one else ever has to read your sad poem. It's for you and you alone. Just write down your feelings, as hard as that may be. You can write in plain language. Don't attempt and imitate the poets of the 17th and 18th century. Write like you talk, and break the lines where it feels natural to you. In truth, you can start by writing one large paragraph crammed with all your feelings and everything you wish to express, solely to get it out. Then you can go back and prepare your thoughts and feelings into a poem.

Once you have written a heartbroken poem, you might want to pen more about different parts of the pain. That's good. Get down everything you can, which will help you to face the agony. Writing the poetry will probably be a very emotional time for you. Don't try to stop it. Just let the agony out and you will be better able to move on.

If you decide you would like to share your heartbroken poem, you can show family or buddies. Or if you need to share it but not with anybody you know, you can put it online. There are internet sites designed just for such things. You can upload your poetry free and let other people know if you need to receive criticism or not. You might opt to not receive comments on your sad poem and just enjoy the fact that you've shared your experience.
