Poems For Girls Broken Hearts Intro
One thing we can all agree on, queer or not, is that heartbreak is the worst. It can turn you into a completely different person. You may have never known misery so intense and so unique. It feels different from any other sort of pain. You find yourself incapable of remembering, but incapable of forgetting. It is an ache that take months, years, and, sometimes, decades to silence.
Luckily, poetry helps heal the silence. Word by word, poems like the ones below can help validate your pain and soothe it. Ease your heartache with lyric beauty, judgment-free understanding, and a willingness to embrace it in its entirity.
