This is one of the most famous heartbreak poems about moving on, and if it sounds familiar, you probably recognize it from selections that were in Beyonce’s Lemonade album.
“For Women Who Are ‘Difficult’ to Love” by Warsan Shire Here are my favorite lines from that poem:ĩ. Cummings is more famous for his sexytime poems than the ones about heartbreak, but one that I feel gets overlooked often is “You Are Tired (I think),” one of his poems about heartbreak and moving on. One that I teach regularly is called “Sex without Love,” and you can read that here. Sharon Olds’ collection of poems, Stag’s Leap contains many poems about heartbreak and betrayal. You likely know Margaret Atwood’s work most recently by the adaptation of her novel The Handmaid’s Taleinto television, but this short poem has always stuck with me as one of the strongest, most visceral interpretations of toxic love though it is not one of the most famous heartbreak poems. One of my favorite poems by him, “Bluebird,” talks about the inability to express emotion.Īnother poem by Charles Bukowski is one of his poems about heartbreak and moving on: People who know Bukowski’s work do not generally think of him as a poet who writes poems about love, but his book’s title Love is a Dog from Hell suggests otherwise. Love is a dog from hellAnd I made a mistake by Charles Bukowski Like, “We promised to stop calling this late at night.” “Let her discover me / with an inopportune phone call.” My personal favorite begins with seeing through a misdirection: “Even though you aren’t wearing it, / I can tell you’re married.” Prince’s collection is a much-needed book for anyone wanting to read about heartbreak. These poems about heartbreak and betrayal display as found poems, epigraphs set their stage: “Found on a hotel notepad / stuffed in a suitcase,” “Found on the kitchen counter / beside a half-empty mug of coffee.” And their opening lines are equally as rending.
This entire collection deals with heartbreaks and its many forms, and it should definitely be read in its entirety. Letters from the Other Womanby Monica Prince By signing up you agree to our terms of use 3. Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox.
