But that’s the thing with grief. Time may ease the pain but it’s never fully gone. I think about what life would have been like if you’d been there for me more (26) None of that can amound to poetry. Whatever this book is, it's certainly not poetry. It has none of its hallmarks, and because it's so full of clichés, it's not even moving. It's poetry only because it's being sold as such. In reality, this is simply a diary with strange line breaks and a meandering style (for a diary). This was just not good. Someone must have broken the author's heart really badly and they must have put all their feelings into these poems, but in sense of poetry and literature this this book gave me nothing. I'm sorry your heart broke and I'm sure that someone who also got their heart broken could find some comfort from this book and reading about someone who relates, but other than that I don't have much positive to say.

And second, some lines just don't really make sense. The logic is entirely missing, or at least a big enough part of it that I can't follow. I thought of our very first fight. I thought of the way you yelled. I thought of the first time I caught you keeping secrets from me the things that you never told me but somehow, I already knew. The ones that made me feel worthless and unloved the ones that I pushed aside because I loved you… And then I thought of our last day together the last day we were two halves of the same whole the day we talked and cried as we agreed that this was the end (131) Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. First, some words are outrageously misused (especially "trauma" - never mind that that's entirely telling and not showing). As an example:There were several poems I did like in this book. I think the author has potential, but this collection was not my favorite collection in terms of poetry. And yet somehow, that awful, trite, clumsy poem still sounded more like poetry - and a lot more heartfelt - than anything I've read in this book. After leaving high school, I kept a diary for a couple years because I was so heartbroken and lonely I didn't know where else to say it. Once, after several sleepless nights, I decided nothing else would convey my pain quite as well as poetry, and so of course I had to write a poem. I was 19, painfully naïve and inexperienced, writing in a language I wasn't really fluent in, drunk on tiredness, and hadn't written poetry since my high school literature teacher had us write one (1) poem when I was 15. I found some of the poems to be extremely beautiful, and in general, some of the writing to be thought-evoking, especially as a person who has never experienced heartbreak before. But my accolades can’t run far as there were a lot of structural errors that made it difficult for me to enjoy the collection.

Lately it feels like I’d be able to die from my broken heart. Like the tears and the heartache will never stop and there’s nothing you could say or do to make me forget the way I loved you (66) I made so many excuses for your behavior to the people I loved. I had wished away all the lies all the broken promises and I had put myself down to try and build you up (120) It feels like I’ll always be a little bit broken and these scars will always remain because one time is all that it takes. One lie (46) If you like the thought of reading something that feels like a friend is talking to you about their breakup and how they're healing from it (and how you could heal from yours), I think you're going to like it. If you like descriptive poems that are more abstract, this is definitely not for you. I think it could also work really well for people who haven't read a lot of poetry before.I’m not sure how it happened when our love became hatred all I know is that right now I’m sitting here all alone without my friend or a love and a giant hole in my heart (20) You can’t keep waiting for somebody who isn’t capable of figuring out that you’re also someone who is worth fighting for (105)
