Lust disguised as love, always circling back to grief. This collection of poems spans the last four years of my life, capturing raw emotions and moments I've poured onto the page. It explores relationships I've had and the relationship I have with myself. Within these pages, you'll find reflections on past lovers, the idealization of love, and the painful weight of longing. Overall, it's a contemplation of the complex emotions of limerence and how it shapes the relationships I find myself in. Throughout, you'll also find illustrations and photography that complement the poems, enhancing the atmosphere and adding another layer to the experience. If you pay attention, you may catch the little details hidden within my words - the names, the places, and the way some stories span across several poems. Poems that melt into one another, woven into small trilogies, embracing the flow of time and the way things can change along the way.
