Sometimes, a poet is able to convey with just a few simple lines, exactly what it feels like to go through and emotional break-up. In Song of the Last Meeting, Anna Akhmatova does just that. Written in 1911, when she was only 22, this poem I think is one of the most painfully honest, and emotionally frank poems about what one goes through when their lover tells them that they are no longer wanted.
