Top 10 Poems about Unfinished Love and Parting Best

This love, I return to you
Is the end of an unfinished love story
Letting go of all the promises made
Finding peace for the future

It will be okay... and then forgotten quickly
Because love has faded over time
The sweetness of the past is now just a memory
Love fades, leaving behind bitterness

I ask why your heart has changed. !?
You've forgotten the days of longing
Your words, you said, were my breath
Why is love lost forever?

What are we to each other now
Only pain, a fading love affair
No one shares the old memories
Who will worry about the tears shed..!?

The pain is over, please walk away
Quietly, let's part peacefully
The old love now shattered in the heart
I return to you the broken pieces...!!

Love incomplete, our fate remains unresolved
Dreams unfulfilled, our paths diverge in parting
From this moment on, farewell is our eternal divide

We part ways, each retracing our steps

A lifetime shared, with many dreams along the road
I vowed to walk with you through storms and gales
Though miles apart, our hearts remain unchanged

Who would have thought it's just a fleeting dream?

It's over now, please don't wait or hope anymore
Don't linger near, burdening each other's hearts

Don't reminisce about bygone days

Let go, for peace of mind

The romantic moonlit nights are over

The wandering wind carries the sweet scent of flowers

The melancholic clouds remain beautiful in the twilight

Rain drapes the path in dreamy hues

From now on, amidst the vast expanse and raging winds

We go our separate ways, no longer together

Don't be sad, don't blame or hurt each other more

The new horizon is welcoming you forward.

Poetry by: Hạnh Ngọc

“One life, one fate, one true affection”
One yearning heart... one silent reflection
Ask the world, why so much adversity?
Sowing sorrow with the seeds of love?

If only we never met in this mortal coil
Never exchanged sweet glances of love
Never made promises in a fading season
Then perhaps naive hearts wouldn't ache!

Autumn withers, where does the sunlight go?
The sky broods silently in a single hue
Wind rises, rain falls, weeping incessantly
Thin shoulders, slender figure, distant and sorrowful!

You ask, how many seasons have passed by?
Why does the beloved's shadow not fade?
We try to erase, time and time again - yet it remains unerasable!
Restless hearts - full of pity and compassion!

If only life had no lingering threads of affection
No fading blush on the cheeks, no pale lips of sweetness
No farewells - no painful parting
No true affection - crying for Karmic Debt!

Poetry by: Đồng Ánh Liễu

Don't cry, it's not about us

But destiny divides the path of love

All the pain, I take it all

If you leave, just be at peace...

I know you accept the wedding vows with another

For you have your own sorrows, I understand

The duty as a child placed upon the altar of filial piety

A little love must silently come to an end...

Our separation is not due to faults

But fate has arranged for us

We don't need to regret broken promises

For love's destiny only reaches this far...

O azure heavens, who could bear

Two hearts parting in the midst of unfulfilled love

Leaving the loving heart to die from now on

Will carry agony for eternity...

Waiting for the next life, who knows when

So weep for a love that's incomplete

Here still lingers the echo of vows and wishes

But we've parted ways...

Don't cry when fate has slipped away

For life's path is firm and steadfast

Even though today we can't be together

But forever I love only you...

We blame fate, life

For bringing us together then parting us forever

Losing love leaves only lingering pain

Love parted ways, it's not about us.

I know these hands are too small

So they couldn't hold onto you forever

Life is long with future dreams

You just go, don't look back

Consider it a moment of folly

Lost in the wilderness by grace

You go find happiness for yourself

So the soul won't wander in sadness

The memories now I return

The sweetness we once shared

For your life's journey without sway

No worries when embracing new fate

You just go... I won't be angry

No blame or fault between us

But the heart has a slight pang

When bidding farewell to someone who was everything

Only hope life isn't too cruel

Returning all smiles to you

Dreams were unfinished, gentle and calm

Erase... what were memories.

Poem: Tung Tran

Some mistakes can only be forgotten

But a lifetime can't be fixed

I can't hold your hand again

Because love has truly withered away

Some mistakes once thought turned to ash

Still can't turn into smoke

Your heart still hurts and throbs

Because the words I said were truly bitter

Some mistakes once thought could fade

But the years aren't easy to erase

A dry leaf once thought blown away by the wind

Who knows it's right beneath our feet

You can't revive the past

Nor salvage the moon's reflection in the water

If we can't walk together

Then from here, we have to part ways

The sky is cold now, dreams are lost in the mist....

Poem: Nguyễn Lam Yên

We can't fulfill the vows of old

The heart still intoxicated by a dream of love

Autumn falls, the shore awaits a boat

The afternoon sun reminisces, love tinted purple-blue

The path of time stretches a hundred years apart

Twenty souls know they will still depart

But with shattered love, a shattered heart piece

So hesitantly seeking what remains

As autumn returns, suddenly it rains

The tilted pen stirs our hearts

Seeking the passionate kiss, burning

The intense fire of innocent love within four walls

Oh! I still love, but love has two paths

Life's dust often hastily washes away fond memories

The path I still cherish laden with longing

Does your river still carry the scent of old love?

Have I stopped loving or is love still asleep?

Why can't we fulfill the vows of old?

Love is only beautiful when it's hesitant

But I long for a blossoming love…

Now I realize that!
I'm nothing in your heart
So I close the fervent love
Not remorseful, not worried or weary
Draw a line - a boundary between us!

Now I realize that any pain will eventually pass
Any wound will heal over time
Just like drifting clouds... a thousand lifetimes wandering
Wherever the wind blows... just let it go!

Realizing it, I'll no longer be lost
No more waiting for a once-beloved stranger
Will think more lightly as if everyone born will return to death
Let the soul gently follow the land and sky

Now realizing it, I can let go easily
No more bitterness thinking about love
I'll be peaceful day by day by the doorstep
Quietly pondering over old things

I won't ache with every night squeezed tight
Not letting emotions flow against my heart
And calmly heal all the scratches
That you unintentionally choked with love

Every day I'll look at myself in the mirror
Seeing the marks of time strewn across my hair
Will smile generously at the weariness
No tears, no sadness over trivial love matters

Although knowing that everyone loves at least once
Fervently deeply someone far away
But now realizing it I'll be different
No more thinking about you
To find peace resting in my own heart!

Winter has arrived, do you know?

The wind blows cold in the afternoon, chilling my soul

Missing you, I wait and yearn through the nights

Dreaming of you, returning with the winter.

Knowing our love has turned into nothingness

You've gone, following your distant spouse,

Forgetting the sweet months and years

Forgetting happiness, the days gone by quickly.

Now I'm left alone with the pain

I still hope and remember, never forgetting

For you, I'll sacrifice

For your happiness with the one you love.

Poem by: Thu Phương

In March, red rice flowers bloom on branches
A picturesque scene, unforgettable like a painting.

Hearts flutter, intertwined with innocence

Two lovers, hesitant to speak their feelings!

Just looking at each other, with smiles in their eyes

A bond of friendship, wandering through romantic life.

Always hoping, that destiny will be a friend

Holding hands, to admire the spring sky together.

Red Plum flowers, hint at affection

By the rice fields, love blooms a thousand times.

The gentle breeze, carries beautiful flower petals

The village is peaceful, immersed in crimson...

One day, invaders bring destruction

Blood stains, scenes of chaos and disorder.

Confused, a young man heads to the battlefield

For the homeland, entrusting his life.

War ends, the sun rises on a peaceful morning

But the soldiers, never return.

Lying at rest, bidding farewell forever

Little did they know, the village girl.

Remained faithful, keeping her oath intact

Each day, love fades away.

Years pass, silently beckoning

The thin moon, painfully longing for a lifetime.

Spring passes, decades go by

Still waiting, for the one in dreams of old.

Hair now gray, petals falling with a sigh

Waiting for you, tears remembering the past.

A heart-wrenching pain, March rain season

Where else, the spring races in fragrance.

Beloved, who else will remind this wounded soul?

Sorrowful rice flowers, dyed red engraved in the heart.

Perhaps, the past lover will never return to find

Bringing memories, buried along with the years.

In the heart's chamber, every night of loneliness

On the horizon, rice flowers cover the green tomb...
