At first, it didn't feel like this.
It felt exciting.Intense.
Like something you didn't want to lose. Then slowly... something changed. Not all at once.
Not enough to name. Just small things.
Comments. Tone. Reactions. Moments that made you question yourself. You started explaining yourself more.
Apologizing more.
Trying harder. And somehow, it was never enough. This is what it feels like when love starts to turn into something else. You Said This Was Love is an uncomfortably honest poetry collection about:
This isn't about obvious endings. It's about the slow unfolding. The part where you stay.
Even when something feels so wrong.
Because you still believe in what it was. Inside, you'll find poems about:
And what comes after. The silence.
The distance.
The slow return to yourself. This book is for you if:
Written for anyone who has experienced emotional harm in a relationship and is finding their way back to themselves. You weren't imagining it.
And you can leave.
Trying harder. And somehow, it was never enough. This is what it feels like when love starts to turn into something else. You Said This Was Love is an uncomfortably honest poetry collection about:

- Losing your sense of reality inside a relationship
- Blaming yourself for things you didn't do
- Trying to hold on to something that keeps hurting you
- The moment you realize this isn't love... and decide to leave
This isn't about obvious endings. It's about the slow unfolding. The part where you stay.
Even when something feels so wrong.
Because you still believe in what it was. Inside, you'll find poems about:
- Being made to feel like everything is your fault
- Questioning your memory, your reactions, your truth
- Walking on eggshells to avoid conflict
- Holding onto the good version of someone who keeps hurting you
- The quiet strength it takes to leave
And what comes after. The silence.
The distance.
