>she's really gone can literature ever fill the void

Read Gravity's Rainbow and lay extra attention to the parts with Roger and Jessica. That really broke me down in a good way after my worst breakup.

But in reality only time and further experience will fix it.

Gravity's Rainbow is a distraction from and a mockery of love, not a confrontation of it. It's like Frank Zappa's doo wop songs on Freak Out! But that's just my opinion.

I know it sounds a bit melodramatic but I really only wanted her, and now that she is gone all I'd like to do is move into the mountains outside of my town and become a hermit.

Charva, my dear
I love you through and through
I loved you back in grammar school when we were sniffing glue

I journeyed to the room at the top of the dark tower, I found the throne where God was to sit empty. NO.

Yeah that's how it feels. It fades. Just distract yourself with self improvement and adventures. Eventually you'll forget what her face really looks like and the smell of her hair. You really will. That sounds awful because you love owe things now, but it's better and you'll love other things just as much.


I wasn't recommending GR as a whole would help. Just those passages about Roger and Jessica. They aren't goofy at all.

Love and memory fading isn't a terribly comforting thing.

It's all you get though. Best to make peace with that.

if we take king's/browning's dark tower the seat there is rather a devil's one
