I'll always remember;
I'll never forget;
The things we did
Since we first met.
The things I've learned
Since our first touch
Have been so many,
Have been so much.
And so the word I have to say
Is thank you now and every day,
For all we were and I am now,
I thank you friend so much and how.

The Hell With Love : Poems to Mend a Broken Heart - Sad break up poems of love and then moving beyond that for the millions of women who are in and out of relationships-and who are weathering the inevitable break-ups that accompany them. It's a sassy and heart-wrenching collection of poems that expresses the anger, hurt, and depression of loss; that asks why, analyzes rifts, and strives for explanation; and that builds resolve, envisions a future, and revels in the present. Chapter themes move through rage, sadness, self-hatred, false hope, resolve, relapse, real hope, and then, of course, moving on. Poets include Margaret Atwood, Louise Gluck, John Donne, Billy Collins, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sharon Olds, Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, Jane Kenyon, Galway Kinnell, Robert Frost, Carolyn Creedon, and many more.
