Back to Enough rope: poems
From "Enough rope: poems" by Parker, Dorothy

Narrator (Threnody)
A woman grappling with heartbreak and trying to appear unaffected.
Core Belief
"Love is fleeting and ultimately disappointing. It's better to appear strong and unaffected than to show vulnerability."
Worldview
The world is indifferent to personal suffering. People are quick to offer empty platitudes but ultimately can't ease the pain of heartbreak.
Personality
Resilient yet wounded, sarcastic, and trying to maintain a facade of indifference. She is cynical about love but still feels the pain of loss.
In Their Own Words
"Lilacs blossom just as sweet Now my heart is shattered."
"If I bowled it down the street, Who's to say it mattered?"
"Let him wonder if I lie; Let him half believe me."
