Breaking up with a loved one is a painful tragedy. And yet, how many great stories (and heartbreak poems…) are born from tragedies. When heartbreak is on, it can feel devastating. And there’s no sugarcoating, this is so hard to be with.

But it need not be the end of the story. My story, that is, for a breakup throws me back unto myself and who I am and want to be. Having had my share of breakups, one of the things I learned  to see is that good that those relationships have brought into my life. I wouldn’t be who I am without them. Pain is not the end of my path.

And in this way, this breakup poem is, really, a love poem about a greater love.
