dark emotional sad

5.0

I cannot explain how much these poems mean to me. There are multiple times whilst reading this where I have to put the book down to cry or take a breather. I’m going to get a tattoo relating to these poems at some point that’s how much I love them. If there’s one poetry book I’m going to carry around for the rest of my life, it’s this one.

This is a powerful, soul crushing view into heartbreak and loss. Perfectly encapsulates beauty and sadness. Devastating and necessary.
