Certainly can be done. Don't know if you like the Libertines, but look at all their songs that were related to the failing relationtionship of Pete and Carl (lead singers).. "What Became of the Likely Lads" "You're My Waterloo" "Don't Look Back Into The Sun"... etc. Well supposedly, anyways. They're all slightly different, but more or less about the same topic... that can be expressed in many different ways. Some of the emotion seems sorrowful, while other resentful depending on the song.
Oh, should add in I have personally done it through prose about my ex. First song referred to more sad feeling, but topic remained 'we were on two different planets' type, the next was more resentful, I suppose. What I mean by that is I wrote about our different perspectives on 'love' and the relationship as a whole. I was nice for sexual favours, though I was in love, whereas my ex was a lover and would more or less only 'comply' with physical things. I was not romantic, whereas my ex only wanted romance... so the songs revolve around those opposite ends of the spectrum from different emotional perspectives.
