This book is full of poems I've written from the heart. I've always wanted to share them-not just to express myself, but to see if others out there might relate. These pieces mean a lot to me, and putting them out into the world wasn't easy. Out of respect for the time, emotion, and effort I poured into this, I kindly ask that no one copies or steals my work. If you do, I will take action to copyright and protect what's mine. I worked hard on these poems, and I hope you'll respect that. Thank you for reading and understanding. I believe a lot of people will relate to what's written here. The beautiful cover art was created by the talented Nona Limmen.

I put a lot of emotion into them, even though I'll admit... I got really lazy halfway through 😭. There were supposed to be more pages, but I couldn't keep writing anymore at the time. Every poem in here is raw. Full of detail. You'll find sadness, love, calmness, peace, rage, emptiness, loneliness-and maybe even a little hope i barely edit anything just give me a chance 😭

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK ON AMAZON UNDER 'MELANCHOLIC MUSE' BY MAY GARNER This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.
