This is a poetry collection about absence - the kind that shapes you before you know what love is supposed to feel like.
Divided into four sections, this book traces the quiet damage of being raised on "almost," the patterns we repeat when love feels familiar, the rage women are taught to swallow, and the clarity that comes when we finally stop explaining ourselves.
These poems are for anyone who learned too early how to wait, how to soften their needs, or how to confuse endurance with love.
Raw, reflective, and unflinching, this collection does not ask for sympathy - it tells the truth.
For readers who believe healing doesn't always come gently, but it does come honestly.
