How I Got Over

by Charles Harvey

Overview

Read a poem a day!

 

These aren't love poems. They're survival poems.

This collection lays bare the darker side of desire—where romance withers, hearts bruise, and the truth cuts deep. There are no chocolates or cupids here, only raw emotion and lyrical reckoning.

In How I Got Over, a woman haunted by unrequited love finds closure at the graveside of the man who never saw her. In Unf*cked, Maura walks in on her husband and another man—what follows is a choice between revenge and unexpected self-discovery.

With fierce honesty and unfiltered emotion, these poems explore the aftermath of love: the fury, the clarity, the quiet ache. For readers drawn to confessional poetry with grit, this collection offers a powerful look at heartbreak, healing, and the truths we're usually too afraid to say out loud.
