An intimate ode to the lover, the obsession, and the self left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These poems navigate the intoxicating highs of secret passion, the brutal unraveling of false truths, and the quiet violence of being known… and then, unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From whispered Italian streets to the haunting blue soul of a connection, this collection dissects what it means to be \u201cmine,\u201d to be a lover, and to become a bleeding heart. It is a testament to the madness of keeping a flame alive long after the fire has burned everything else to ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
