A request (sorry)

[shechoselove]

My friend is currently going through a breakup, and I'm looking for poems (and even quotes) that might help her get through this. Does anyone have any good poems about breakups? Thank you in advance! (Sorry I didn't include a poem here. I'll edit this post if I can think of one worth posting.)

I'm not sure if all of them are applicable, but they're poems I love!

Love, Forgive Me by Sierra DeMulderMy sister told me a soul mate is not the person

OH. And this! This poem/video always make me feel a little less heartbroken/lonely.

Aw, I loved this! I went to the movies by myself for the first time this year. It felt like a small victory.

Love, We Must Part Now: Do Not Let It Be

by Philip Larkin

Love, we must part now: do not let it be
Calamitous and bitter. In the past
There has been too much moonlight and self-pity:
Let us have done with it: for now at last
Never has sun more boldly paced the sky,
Never were hearts more eager to be free,
To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and I
No longer hold them; we are husks, that see
The grain going forward to a different use.

There is regret. Always, there is regret.
But it is better that our lives unloose,
As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light,
Break from an estuary with their courses set,
And waving part, and waving drop from sight.

I was going to post the second one. It has been incredibly helpful to me since my break-up in October.
