There are loves that burn, and loves that heal -
and somewhere between the two, we learn how to begin again.
"Where the Light Finds Us" is a collection of poems about love's quiet afterglow - the spaces between endings and becoming, the soft strength that grows from heartbreak, and the moments when light still reaches us, even through the smoke.
In these pages, fire becomes a language of survival.
Silence becomes a form of peace.
And love - no longer something to endure - becomes something that returns home to the self.
Each poem stands as both confession and reclamation:
a girl made of flame learning to trust her own warmth,
a goodbye written in salt and tide,
a heart learning to listen for the light that never left.
Because healing doesn't happen all at once.
Sometimes, it happens in the quiet -
where the light finally finds us again.

And Warren doesn't give up control without a fight. Told in raw, lyrical first-person, When Love Finds You is a story of survival, sapphic longing, and the slow, defiant reclaiming of a stolen life. 💔 Abuse. 🔥 Longing. 🌹 Healing. 🖤 And a love story that refuses to be quiet.Complete

Fragments Of A Shattered Dawn
A collection of raw, unfiltered poems that bleed with honesty. Inside these pages live the ghosts of depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, heartbreak, abuse, and grief. These words do not shy away from darkness-they sit with it, speak its language, and unravel the silence it leaves behind. But this is also a book about survival. About longing and love, even when unreturned. About desire that aches and healing that comes in imperfect forms. About the messy, jagged ways we try to piece ourselves back together. For anyone who has felt too much, or nothing at all. For anyone searching for fragments of themselves in the ruins. This is not a guide to healing. This is proof you are not alone in the storm.
