Where the Darkness Waits for Me is not a book about giving up.
It's about looking the dark in the eye and calling it by its name.
In these fragmented poems, T.L. Ellison steps into the quiet places most people run from grief, addiction, missed moments, the versions of ourselves we've buried and listens for what still lives there.
Some pieces speak like confessions.
Some read like conversations with the person you used to be.
Others are letters to the emptiness, to the hope that hurts, to the roads you'll never travel again.
This is not a tidy journey.
It's raw and uneven.
But somewhere between stepping into the dark and stepping away from it, you might recognize yourself.
