About the Poem

This was written mainly to help me identify with what was bothering me after a breakup. Mainly, I just miss him so much. I was trying to be mature but I think I just broke down in the end.

Now That It's Gone

by Christine Hogan

I never would have thought that
there'd be a you and me.
It wasn't plausible.
It wasn't possible.

But out of the star-crossed sky
fell an opportunity.
It was great.
It was special.
It was magic.

It made my life
such a blissful state of euphoria.
My eyes sparkled.
My soul danced.
My heart rejoiced.

And now that it's gone
I wish there was something in its place.
I want a new dream.
I want a new heart.
I want a new chance.

But mostly,
I'm receiving only loss.
I remember the happy times and think there'll be no more.
I remember little thoughts of you and sigh 'cause you're gone.
I remember my contented heart and sigh because now it's broken.

And now that you're gone,
I can't help but miss you.
For every where you used to smile an empty memory looms
of your soulful eyes
your shy smile
and your beautiful face.

becky

Well i just wanna say that i can relate and that the poem was very well done words and emotions everything put together. I have gone through this and still trying to deal with it and gettig over it i guess. I miss my curtis lol but I got to be strong right maybe a other time will come. Oh well ok good job on the poem and keep writing.

Shane

oh my . This poem brought tears to my eyes . Its So Beautifull and true, this feeling of pain will excape from you, it has for me once . but i still think and wonder what happened, and what i could have done to change it . but things in life happen for a reason, now i have someone and I'm going to try harder to let them know i love them and they mean so much and more to me, You learn from your Mistakes. then you can start over, with what u have learned. A Broken Heart just makes better choices to whom you'll give your heart to, but be wise with the choice, Love is powerful

Dreamer

Thats a realy great poem i liked it alot.

Kathy

Very honest words. I found the love of my life and because of my own stupidity drove him away. I've been looking for the words that expressed exactly the way I feel and these have come the closest. Thank you.

Joni

The exact scenario happened to me - so I can feel this poem deep in my heart.

Joni

I really liked this poem! It was very well written, and I could also identify with it. I once met a guy who I truly believed (and still believe to this day) was perfect for me. I never took the chance to tell him how I felt, because I figured he'd be there again tommorow, so I'd tell him then. I'm still trying to get over this, and this poem really said everything I was feeling. I really enjoyed it!

Adrienne

Very Good Poem!

Heather

Krista

I can definitely relate to this poem. I know how you feel girlfriend. Sometimes you can't mend a broken heart but you can heal it through time I hope. I am not in that stage yet, mine is still broken. I love your poem.

Melanie

That's exactly how I feel, but it was me who broke it up and nothing will ever be the same. I know the pain and this is a good expression of it!

Alisha

This poem is exactly what just happened to me i fell in love with someone whom i thought would never love me. but we started going out and we were in a deep love. but my parents didn't want us together and we were tired of being scared and worried so it had to end and i still can't beleive that after one year and 3 months this had to end! it was sooo beutiful.

nasseema

I fell in love with this poem as soon as I read it for the first time. I have also known the pain of losing someone dear to me and now all that remains are happy memories and a painful heart. I think that the poem encompasses all that a person could feel when he/she has lost someone, a lost love.

cynthia

Lisa
