“White Knuckles” – A Poem of a Lovers’ Withdrawal by Susan Dahr

Please help me climb my mountain. I need to get to the other side; your love is like an addiction, stripping me of all my dignity and my pride. I’m addicted to the anxiety, the worrying, and the fear, just one more hit is all I need; for me to start thinking clear. I’ve tried...

“Harvest Moon” – A Poem of Forsaken Love and Broken Hearts by Susan Dahr

It’s a full moon baby, are you feeling me, shining so bright in the darkness, hanging over what used to be. They call it the harvest moon, all gold and round and bright; we made passionate love in the pool, kissing and hugging surrounded by the yellow moonlight. Naked and blissful, wrapped in each other’s...

“Home” – A Poem of Powerful Lonliness Intertwined with Inspiration by Susan Dahr

No one to come home to, the house is cold and dark, don’t know when I’ve been this lonely, praying and hoping I can make a new start. No need to start dinner, no interest in eating alone, it’s been months since he left me, can’t remember the last time I called this home. The...

“Love My Life” – A Poem of Overcoming Struggles and Self-Actualization by Susan Dahr

I’m starting to love my life, starting to recognize my flaws, releasing those negative vibes, now believing I was not the cause.

“Reality” – A Poem of Realizing Loss and Overcoming Love by Susan Dahr

The down and dirty reality, it’s time to get really mad, he left you because he was sick of you, never once did he act sad! So tired of the aloneness, the quiet empty house, can’t eat, can’t sleep, so frustrated, all because of an ungrateful spouse! I need a job, I need the distraction,...

”What Happened?” – A Poem of Betrayal and Broken Hearts by Susan Dahr

I believed it had to happen, there was a lesson to be learned; there were things that did not add up; there were things I needed to know. In spite of all the denials, the false accusations and the blame, he left me for his reasons, I know now I was not the one that...

“Enough” – A Poem of Overcoming Lost Love by Susan Dahr

Gave him everything I had, stripped myself of all protections, only to realize in the end, there was really never any connection. He never knew who I was, never bothered to drink my blood; I put him on a pedestal, he couldn’t handle my emotional floods. He couldn’t feel my sexy swagger, threw away the...

“The Truth” – A Poem of Realizing Love Lost and Denial by Susan Dahr

It’s time to tell the truth, time to own up to what’s real, this man left me for another, no longer cares about how I feel. Remained in denial for months, still believing the shallow lies he told, locked in the same old pattern, thought he’d love me until I grew old. Made promises that...

“Fear” – A Poem of Romance and Lost Love by Susan Dahr

Fear deters me from contacting him; afraid of the pain that comes from within. Fear of the words that may stab my heart, not knowing what to expect or even where to start. Missing the person I had grown to love, we used to be connected; we used to be one, blessed from above. Time...
