It takes you on a ride from a life-shattering ending towards a journey of rebirth. This poignant collection of poems will have you riding waves of melancholy, relieved by uplifting touches of whimsy and possibility.

The lovely, the deluded, the unhinged, the magical, and even the mundane: nothing is off limits with alchemy such as this. Its simple goal is to transform suffering into connection by speaking the darkness into existence. Vulnerability is capable of holding immense beauty and space for a collective to form, even within its breakdown. This book is an attempt to make tangible the anguish of coping poorly with lost love. It explores all stages of hurt, as well as the overwhelming nature of all the possibilities ahead that remain unknown. It serves as a reminder of the massive mess of love you can gain if you learn to open your heart to it. It is a genuine telling of horrid beauty and a raw expression of the human experience. The journey starts within, and the fight for rebuilding is a worthy one.
