This collection maps the scattered aftermath of a love built on beginnings that faltered and went dark. Split into two parts \u2014 \u201cStarts Within Me\u201d and \u201cStarts Within You\u201d \u2014 it traces the raw, cyclical journey through wishful longing, quiet mourning, restless nights, and the echo of a voice in an empty room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These poems are confetti after the party, rose-colored glasses finally cracked. They capture the ache of loving a memory more than a person and the fragile reconstruction of a self in the quiet that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These poems are a whispered reminder that even a heart full of broken starts was, once, brave enough to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
