There are people who, even after they leave, keep living inside of us.
From My Rotting Body Flowers Shall Grow is a collection of poems about what happens when love comes to an end, yet continues to live within the one who remains. Divided into four movements, Gravity, Tides, Ruins, and Blooming, this collection journeys through every transformation of grief: the love that longs to save, the loss that becomes obsession, the anger born from rewritten stories, and, at last, a form of acceptance that is not the same as forgetting. Because some people never truly stop belonging to us.They become memory.
They become scars.
They become part of the person we are destined to become. These poems speak of love, absence, depression, nostalgia, and the difficult path toward understanding that love does not mean holding on to someone, nor does it mean learning to stop loving them. It means learning to live with what remains. This is not a story with a happy ending.
It is the story of a wound that never truly disappears, but slowly changes its shape. For those who have loved deeply.
For those who still carry someone who is no longer here.
And for those who know that, sometimes, even from the most scorched earth, flowers can still bloom.
