All the Things We Lost to the Fire
poems on addiction, grief, survival, and still choosing love
by H.F. Lawson
This is not a book about addiction.
This is a book about the people who live in its aftermath.
Told through raw, unflinching poetry, All the Things We Lost to the Fire explores every angle of addiction's reach-from children who raised themselves in the shadows of relapse, to partners who stayed through withdrawals and silence, to those left behind by the ones who didn't make it. And it's also about the ones who did.
With sections dedicated to trauma, grief, recovery, and healing, this collection doesn't just burn-it rebuilds.
It's for the people who had to grow up too soon.
For the ones who begged someone to stay.
For the ones who stayed anyway.
And for the ones who still choose the light-
even when it flickers.
