Don't Step on the Shattered Glass is a poetry collection about heartbreak and the aftermath of loving someone who could not stay. These poems follow the emotional arc of loss, from the initial shatter to the slow and complicated work of healing. Jazmini writes through longing, grief, self-blame, anger, tenderness, and the quiet moments when you realize love has changed you forever.
This book is not about getting over someone quickly. It is about sitting in the truth of heartbreak. About grieving a future that will never happen. About learning how to carry love when it no longer has a place to land. Each section moves through a different stage of emotional rupture and repair, honoring the messiness of loving deeply and the courage it takes to keep going.
