Answer 2

"After Great Pain, A Formal Feeling Comes"
by Emily Dickinson.

After great pain, a formal feeling comes
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Toombs
The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore,
And Yesterday, or Centuries before?

The Feet, mechanical, go round
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought
A Wooden way
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone

This is the Hour of Lead
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons recollect the Snow
First-Chill-then Stupor-then the letting go

Answer 3

Here are several quotes I think might appeal to you. I'm not sure exactly why you're breaking up with your boyfriend so I tried to find several different ones to capture the various feelings you might have.

"For the memory of love is sweet,
Though the love itself were in vain.
And what I have lost of pleasure,
Assuage what I find of pain."
-- Lyster.

"I could have loved you once And said it
But then you went away And when you came back
Love was a forgotten word, Remember?"
-- Marilyn Monroe.

"Love is painful that is true;
not to love is painful too;
but there is a greater pain:
to love and not be loved again"
-- John Fussle.

"Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me,
Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain,
Have put on black, and loving mourners be,
Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain."
-- William Shakespeare, Sonnet #132.

"The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule."
-- Anita Brookner.

"You found it a game to watch my pain,
Did you pause and think of the scars on my soul?
My heart was bruised, torn and used,
Yet I followed you blindly into a blackening hole.

Love to me was a feeling new and pure,
Emotions unknown consumed my whole heart
You took my love and made it your whore,
Dissected my spirit and ripped it apart

I could see what you were doing to me,
And I hid my eyes, willed myself to be blind.
It was true that I was afraid to be free,
You pulled my soul too fiercely then left me behind.

I loved you for the attention you gave,
I loved so completely, with all of my power.
But I can't stay confined in this lonely cave,
I will break from your clutch, I will no longer cower.

The darkness still rips silently and cruelly within.
It consumes and it corrodes, crawling through this skin.
I've fabricated my life with lies, creating your love.
Something that never existed. A Blackened, broken dove.

Love clawed all truth from my blinded eyes.
Now I can see and now I despise.
Hate seethes inside and will never again be contained.
I give myself to the loathing that courses in these veins."
-- DarkSylph (Breaking Away).

I hope that there was at least one or two things in there you liked. I found them from this website, if you want to look for more like them.

As terrible a beauty as sadness is, a cruel mistress when we have fallen and wish not to rise until there are tears in our eyes, I pray that happiness finds you soon and lifts the weight of despair from your shoulders. Just remember that grief is part of letting go, but depression is the bane of the soul.

Answer 7

What it Takes by aerosmith:

There goes my old girlfriend
There's a-nother diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing

So baby what's the story
Did' ya find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back I guess
The feelings start to fade away

I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Yeah

Girl before I met you I was F.I.N.E. fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah my heart's been doin' time
You spent me up like money
And then ya hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eyes

Tell me what it takes to let you go... oooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me that' your happy that your on your own
Yeah yeah yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dying
When you're cryin' for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go... oooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go... yeah
And tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice... no no no no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
Oooh... I don't I don't no I don't wanna burn in paradise
Let it go let it go...
I don't wanna burn....
