Before we learnt to move on

"Every tragedy becomes a half-forgotten memory once you learn to move on"

A collection of 16 poems, centered around the perception and aftermath of heartbreak. A depiction of the profound sadness and hollowness felt after losing the one thing you would never dare to give up voluntarily. The agony of being torn apart by fate and the process of coping up and trying to move on, confronting your own self several times, trying to justify your actions, and the painfully long process of reconstructing your own image in your own head. Such is the melancholy of separation from the one for whom you would sacrifice your entire world. The incessant pain seeps into your soul, spreads through your entire being like a poison, as effortlessly as the passing time. What shortly follows it is the state of complete denial and negation, leaving only an endless web of regrets that seizes you the instant you try to flee.

'Before we learnt to move on' explores the various stages of heartbreak and the final acceptance of reality, encompassing all of the moments of transition we go through before finally learning to let go and move on.
