Heartbroken Poem To Help You Heal

If you’ve ever been through a sad break-up with someone you love, you may have written a heartbroken poem.  You may have even written this type of poem for things like the loss of a pet or a family member, sadness at leaving off from your friends, or any sad life events.  But it seems nothing inspires such sad poetry as a break-up or divorce.  Just as few things inspire love poetry quite like being in a happy, loving relationship.

Poetry is an excellent medium for self-expression. Unless you’re writing poetry with the hope of having it published one day, you can write poetry however you like.  It doesn’t need to be a good poetry.  You don’t have to understand any of the poetic terms or conventions like rhyme, meter or free verse.  You don’t even have to have read a really good poem in your life to create a heartbroken poem that can help you feel better and maybe help you heal from the pain of a break-up.

An important early step in getting over a break-up or any sad situation is simply facing the pain.  While it might feel better to stop dealing with the reality of the situation, you can’t really move past it without having to face and feel the pain, at least for a while.  So facing up to whatever painful situation that is happening is necessary.  A heartbroken poem can help you deal with those painful feelings when you’ve separated with someone you love.

Don’t be worried about whether it’s good or not.  No one else ever has to read your heartbroken poem.  It’s for  just only you alone.  Just write down your feelings, as hard as that may be.  You can write in plain language.  Don’t make an attempt to imitate the poets of the 17th and 18th century.  Write just like the way you talk, and break the lines where it feels natural to you.  In fact, you can begin by writing one huge paragraph filled with all your feelings and everything you want to express, just to get it out.  Then you are able to go back and arrange your thoughts and feelings into a poem.

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

If you decide you want to share your heartbroken poem, you can show your family or friends.  Or if you want to share it but not with anyone you know, you can put it online.  There are websites designed simply for such things.  You can upload your poetry for free and let other people know if you want to receive criticism or not.  You might opt to not receive comments on your heartbroken poem and just enjoy the fact that you’ve shared your experience.
