Shattered Verses

About the Book

This book is not just a collection of poems; it’s the echoes of battles fought in the silence of the heart, the scars left by love that was never kind, and the weight of betrayals that linger long after the tears have dried. It is the story of a soul searching for healing in a world that too often feels cold, a story of love that never quite lived up to its promise, and pain that feels eternal.

Within these pages, you will find raw truth — the kind that doesn't shy away from the dark places, the shadows we try to bury but can never fully escape. Here, I lay bare the moments of vulnerability, the heartbreaks that carved their names deep into the core of who I am, and the toxic relationships that took more than they gave. But you’ll also find fragments of hope, because even in the most twisted of loves and the deepest of betrayals, there’s a flicker that refuses to be extinguished.

This is a journey through brokenness, but also through resilience. It’s about learning to trust again, even when the world feels like it’s unraveling. If you, too, have loved too deeply, suffered too much, or been betrayed by the ones you thought would stay, then perhaps these words will echo something inside of you — a connection, a connection, a release, or even a reminder that healing is not only possible but inevitable. This is my story. This is our story.
