An Autopsy of Us is a poetry collection that dissects love, loss, and the echoes they leave behind. With raw vulnerability and haunting imagery, D. Leighton takes readers through the intimate process of grieving relationships-both with others and with ourselves.
These poems explore the delicate nature of heartbreak, the weight of almosts, and the quiet resilience of moving on. Through autopsies of love letters never sent, bruises that never healed, and memories that linger like ghosts, this collection is for anyone who has ever stayed too long, loved too deeply, or fought to reclaim themselves from the wreckage of goodbye.
For readers who love:
✔️ Poetry that blends tenderness with brutal honesty
✔️ Themes of heartbreak, healing, and self-reclamation
✔️ A raw and unfiltered exploration of love's aftermath
If you've ever held onto something already lost, if you've ever tried to rebuild yourself from the scraps of what remained-this book is for you.
