Book preview

This book is dedicated to you, dear reader.

The following is a personal account of love and heartbreak: a collection of poems written on loss. It was essential for me to write these pieces and exciting to put them together. I hope you experience as much catharsis in reading as I did in writing. These poems are presented in the order of which they were experienced, spanning the course of 13 years.

To all the hopeless romantics, the poets, the lovers, the crazies, the feelers, and the muses: I see you.

May you feel less alone. May you feel valid.

May you feel accepted.

Love,

Reah
