If you broke up with someone, and they wrote great poetry about you( as their method of healing), how would that make you feel?
And would that make you want to get back together with them?

Poetry is a construct. It can "feel" real but it's an expression of something. There's little mileage in confusing a poem with a person. If you want to know how someone feels, ask them, don't assume their poetry says it all. And if you have no intention of getting back with someone, spare them your confusion and give them space to get over you in what ever way they choose.

Hmm..
if i broke up with someone and she posted 'great poetry' about me (as a healing process)...
well firstly, i have to know if she is actually writing to vent / heal or merely so that i understand her innermost feelings and decide to get back.
I would feel special but i wont necessarily decide to get back with her. I might be in love with her poetry but first and foremost i need to be in love with the person.
Or you may end up breaking up with her again if she goes through a writer's block.

it would depend on what you wanted from life. supposing the dude you broke up with... but, right away, in saying this, the gender thing shows how political "breaking up" is... how identity is the currency and not "art". if you're a guy and it's a "girl" you broke up with, are you supposed to be chivalrous -- patronize her writing and take it on the chin? and if you're a girl and it's a man, are you supposed to, politically, feel, not an inspiration, but "used"?
poetry is the recognition of natural relationships and the complaint. natural relationships are a product of love and the local bar... that is to say, determined by what your peers tell you a relationship is supposed to be like. are you a poet? are we your peers?

I think it depends on why you broke up with them. If they are good on paper but not in life, forget it, be glad you escaped. If it's on paper that they can convey what they can't say in person, you might want to at least discuss it.
I think having anyone write poetry about you is a gift (provided it's nice!), it should make you feel good but it would not make me want to be with someone I can't get along with.
Sorry and good luck.

I was going to give this an honest response then as I was thinking I realized there's far to many variables sooo if you want my opinion I'll need an exact recount of the events, and you're not fooling anyone it's not just a question it's a question regarding you

It makes no difference, besides you shouldn't even know about the poetry. Many poets, evidence is on these boards, create good poetry but are assholes. He or she still is not the one for you.
