    About this ebook

    This is the first book published by Heather Lynn Bauer (Berosh). This poetry book is the culmination of 25 years of good, bad and uncomfortable experiences with love, friends and college. Bad decisions, bad relationships and some really heartless people inspired this book. The depression that led to some of this poetry was at times suffocating. There were really dark times. Recent betrayal by once beloved friends was motivation to publish. She aspires to attain the goals that were once out of reach and has found some true friends to help encourage her to do so.

      Welcome…

      Feb 15, 2022

      Call me crazy, but I can’t help but feeling there’s something just a little bit magical about this time of year. For me, the best part of the day is late afternoon, just as the sky is beginning to darken. As I look out and see the pink sky turning du

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Building a sand castle

      just we two

      The towers were beautiful
