Bleeding Flowers: A Collection of Poetry

By Shay Siegel

Bleeding Flowers is a collection of poems, some are true events—all are true feelings. Shay Siegel explores desolation, betrayal, and suffering with raw honesty. These poems are for those who have been broken, whether it be through relationships, deep thoughts, or profound loneliness. Readers will find the ability to face their pain with the knowledge that it will pass only to come again, the same as each season. Solace is always present in nature to aid in our survival.

"Siegel's words bleed and blossom into poems which reach deep within your soul to remind you, you are not alone." -Kristiana Reed of Free Verse Revolution
