I am in need of poems that scream “ugh screw cupid, I am through” like this one as a english lit girl who is in her yearning yet disappointed era🫠😭 Would love to hear your recommendations!
Maybe Tony Hoagland’s In Praise of Their Divorce?
“Let us keep in mind the hidden forces
which had struggled underground for years
to push their way to the surface—and that finally did,
cracking the crust, moving the plates of earth apart”
You may enjoy the song No Children by The Mountain Goats:
“I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it’s already too late …
In my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife …
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can’t find one good thing to say
And I’d hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You’d stay the hell out of my way…”
