A Journey of Hurt: Captured in Ink

By Vicki Elizabeth Case

Seeking to help those who are heartbroken, the poetry of A Journey of Hurt offers a graphic and honest portrayal of one womans journey through loss and grief, as she endeavours to understand whywhy the man she loves and adores unconditionally severs her from his life after vowing not to lose her on numerous occasions. Author Vicki Case articulates the ebbs and flows of her emotions through her unorthodox yet vividly candid poetry.

In this sequel to her inaugural book, Unconditional Forbidden Love, Case describes the emotional roller coaster she has experienced as she deals with losing the only man she has ever really loved. Full of emotion in its truest state, her raw and painful poetry shares her intense feelings of deep affection, adoration, devotion, and passion for an extraordinary man who had a profound effect on her.

If you have known heartbreak, let her experience expressed through poetry come to your aid. You arent alone.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to an extraordinary man whom I love unconditionally. This book is for the man who used to call me ‘Gorgeous’. He is and will always be my God of Love and Lust; my Emperor of Desire, my Prince of Passion and my soul mate. He will forever reside in my heart.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank those people who have supported and encouraged me in writing this book. First and foremost there is the extraordinary man I fell in love with (my Eros) who encouraged me to believe in myself and told me that my work was good and that it should be published.

Thanks must also go to my beautiful parents (Kelvin and Dawn) who have unfailingly supported me in everything that I have ever done, although they have not always agreed with some of the decisions I have made.

Finally I want to thank my dear friends Michelle Myers and Carol Hawthorn who have been there for me through the difficulties I have endured in losing the only man I have ever really loved. They have both been towers of strength and stability for me. I am forever indebted to them both.

My heart is now;

An open book;

As a published author;

Just have a look.

Some will laugh;

Others will cry;

And some will ask;

Why Vicki, why?

Some will say;

It’s the gutsiest thing;

You’ve ever done;

Advertising your fling.
