Worth to mention poems from the book:

  • Chapter 1: the beggining of the end

two lonely souls
have a way of
clinging onto each other
we knew we weren’t compatible
but we held on
so that we weren’t alone

  • Chapter 2: the heartbreak

a fairytale:

me,
falling for you
and you,
feeling the same

  • Chapter 3: the hurting

i wonder
which one hurt more
you not knowing
or me,
making up situations
in my head
over and over again
until it was too much to bear

  • Chapter 4: the healing

if you can survive this
you can survive
anything
