A collection of poems following a personal tale of heartbreak and healing.
A note about the layout:
Part 1: crave is the beginning. The inner workings of my relationship. The struggle we had with love.
Part 2: ache is the breakup. All of the poems are unedited representations of the many different thoughts and feelings I was experiencing from moment to moment, day to day.
Part 3: yearn is the pattern. It follows my heart as I move from the breakup onto another person. The cycle I could not yet break free from.
Part 4: rise is the ascension. The realization. The overcoming. Taking back my power.
I hope you enjoy this. The bare bones of my story.

How Could You?
Unforgettable Series #1 High school sweethearts were supposed to last forever, or so I thought when I married Wilson McConnell. Some pains in life are that terrific, something you wouldn't wish upon your greatest enemy. The betrayal of a person who you thought was your soulmate was one of them. He could beg, explain, justify, grovel and pay for his sins. I could be angry, listen to him, get annoyed, have pity and sympathise with him. What he couldn't do was make anything the same or better, ever again! What I couldn't do was ever take him back! In the end there's only just one question left, How Could You?Complete

Healing in Your Arms
In a world where appearances deceive and success doesn't always mean fulfillment, Ryan Ferraro and Misha Verma exist on opposite ends of the spectrum-yet they are bound by an unspoken emptiness. Ryan, a man who seemingly has it all-power, wealth, and a name that commands the skies-finds himself haunted by an ache he cannot name. No amount of achievements, no boardroom victories, can silence the quiet discontent gnawing at him. He has built an empire, yet within its towering walls, he feels alone. Misha, on the other hand, has learned to survive in a world that never truly belonged to her. A daughter bound by expectations, a woman fighting to carve her own path, she has spent her life proving her worth to those who refuse to see it. With every step she takes toward freedom, the weight of her past threatens to pull her back. She has nothing, yet she clings to hope like a lifeline. Two souls drowning-one in excess, the other in absence. When fate forces their paths to cross once more, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words fill the silence between them. But in a world where both have learned to endure, will they find solace in each other-or will they prove that some voids are never meant to be filled?
