Question

"To My Ex"

Answer 1

In "To My Ex" by Stephanie Harris, the tone which describes the poem is bitter.

In the above instance, the poet is broken on how the love between her and her lover was not as close as "sand and water" rather it was always measured in monetary terms rather than feelings. The poet describes how she is left alone when she calls up and there is no response. There are no moments where they share their feelings but rather account the things bought through cash, "With gift after gift you set me up, like ten pins in a game of bowling:" The poet now calls for the war and her heart is like a broken glass now.

Answer 2

Bitter, as evidenced in lines 1-5
