What It Cost Me To Love

By Kaitlan C. Farrior

This is a book about clarity. About finally seeing the truth in someone you loved and realizing you cannot carry a relationship on your own. These poems were written in the middle of heartbreak, healing, confusion, self-reflection, and growth. They tell the story of loving someone who could not meet you, and the strength it takes to walk away even when your heart still cares.

Inside these pages you will find the moments when everything felt heavy, the moments when you tried to hold on, and the moment you finally let go. You will see the patterns that hurt you, the conversations that broke you, and the realizations that saved you. This book is not about blaming someone else. It is about understanding yourself. It is about choosing peace after choosing someone who could not choose you back.

These poems are simple, honest, and raw. They speak to anyone who has ever loved deeply, apologized too much, explained themselves over and over, waited for change that never came, or stayed longer than they should have. They remind you that leaving is not failure. Healing is not weakness. And choosing yourself is not selfish.

If you have ever questioned your worth because of someone else's inconsistency, this book will help you see the truth. You were never too much. You were just giving your heart to someone who was not ready to hold it.
