Love, in its purest form, promises us connection, warmth, and understanding. Yet, beneath its surface, there’s an unspoken truth—love, too, carries the weight of sadness, the ache of loneliness, and the sharp edges of betrayal. This collection of poems is a map of that complex terrain. It is not an easy journey, but it is an honest one.

These poems were born out of moments where love turned into absence, where trust unraveled, where the heart sought solace in its own echo. In these words, you’ll find the bitter aftertaste of longing, the hollow space left by goodbye, and the sharp pang of promises broken. But even within these shadows, there’s a quiet beauty—a recognition of what it means to feel deeply, to endure, and to heal.
