I Loved You Wrong on Purpose by Tierra Tate is a poetry collection about what happens when love opens you and then asks you to disappear. These poems move through desire, laughter, intimacy, and spiritual connection, before naming the quiet violence of silence, emotional labor, and loving someone who refuses to meet themselves. This book traces the journey of a woman who mistook patience for peace, healing for responsibility, and love for self-erasure-until clarity arrived. This is not a book about bitterness, it is about awareness, about choosing softness without self-abandonment and about remembering your power after giving it away. Written for women healing from love that felt sacred but cost too much, this book is a reclamation of voice, body, spirit, and worth.
