Reads like sweet revenge for someone spurned. On the other hand, it could be just belated advice for someone who thought that love was real when it wasn't. So many young marriages are like that� One-sided and codependent. That's why the divorce rate is so high. But it's usually the woman that suffers. The poem suggests that she suffers too much, and needs to get on with her life and not make the same mistake again.
