But Wait - I Loved You Bleeding

"I wasn't prepared for the way missing you is like drowning. I wasn't prepared for the way remembering everything you put me through is like burning alive. I wasn't prepared for the way neither feeling can extinguish the other." This intimate collection of thoughts, letters, and a few text messages depicts the conflicting emotions in the aftermath of a long-term emotionally abusive relationship. The collection explores themes of grief, heartbreak, love, anger, loss, and longing. While some pieces lean more towards prose and stream of consciousness and some more towards poetry, this collection is everything I've written since the day he left me.
