there were some lines in this that were pretty good, riveting even. but as a whole the collection just felt really redundant. often the titles were more intriguing than the actual poem.

ROMANCE
i have heard it said
that love
turns people
soft
but i have
never been 
more
brutal

UNTITLED
i never wanted
to belong
to anyone
but myself

here i am

i hate it and it makes my heart wet

ROMANCE
people say
i love you

i don't care 
and i am never tired

EVERYBODY THINKS THAT THEY ARE DIFFERENT BUT NOBODY IS DIFFERENT
the poor thing
i hope they say
she was born
with so much
venom in her heart

OUT OF YOUR LOVE

don't
know
what
would
have 
happened
if 
what 
happened 
hadn't
happened

it happened

so many times

I DON'T CARE IF IT LASTS
eros betrays
hate beguiles
love goes out

I THOUGHT LOVE WAS A PLACE BUT LOVE IS A PULL
when i think of you
i do not think
of you
i think
of anything
but you

ROMANCE or THE END
love can be a lie, but it is also always true

The one star is for the cover bc everything else was pretty bad…. Maybe I am not sophisticated enough to understand these poems but they made me feel nothing except slightly confused
