Check out some powerful poetry:

I wrote you name in the sand, But the sea wore it away. I wrote your name on my hand, But washed it off the next day. I wrote your name on a piece of paper, But accidentally threw it away. I wrote your name in my heart, And forever it will stay.

 
Too young to love, but I thought I did.
It was just lust. I can't believe what I did.
Now you're gone.
It felt like you never cared,
But I thought the love was real that we shared.
All the lies and the stories that you told,
How could your heart have been so cold?
So don't forget, you reap what you sow.

 
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Babies come easy,
So watch what you do.

 
Here I sit with my face to my knees,
Arms wrapped around my waist trying to crush the painful void within.
Salty tears run down my cheeks,
My tribute to the broken love.
 
Many say it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all,
But to me that does not apply.
If I had never had you, I wouldn't be feeling this deep pit of sorrow,
This low feeling that makes my heart sink to the darkest part of my soul.
 
My memories of you make my heart ache.
My skin longs for your touch.
My lips long for yours,
But their desires shall never come?you are gone.
 
You are gone, never to return to me.
You are gone forever, away from the outreach of my grasp.
Never again will my fingers entwine with yours.
Never again will your arms hold me.
 
So here I sit with my face to my knees,
Arms wrapped around my waist trying to crush the painful void within.
Salty tears run down my cheeks,
My tribute to the broken love.

 
Sex is a game.
Boys get all the pleasure.
Girls get all the pain.
Ten minutes of pleasure,
Nine months of pain.

Sinking in memories, Drowning in love, Breathless on answers, Your heart is washed up. Your feet touch the soft sand. You're finally free Of the strong ocean waves In this great sea.   You're way under water. You're choking on dreams, Stitching together The wide open seams. You're way under water. You're in need of air. You try to touch bases, When nothing is there.

 
I told you I was pregnant and you smiled.
You told me you wanted it and I smiled.
We picked out names and we smiled.
 
I went to my doctor and saw the baby and I smiled.
I showed you the ultrasound and you smiled.
I framed the picture of our baby and we smiled.
 
I told my friends and they smiled.
My friends said congratulations and you smiled.
You and my friends got closer and I smiled.
 
My friends told me you didn't want the baby and I frowned.
My friends put you on speaker phone and asked if you wanted it.
You said "no" and I cried.
I asked you if you wanted the baby and you said "yes."
You lied.
 
Now it's over and I think of our baby and I smile.
You will think of our baby and frown.
Our baby will think of you and know that you didn't want him and frown?
Then smile because I do and always will want him.
