Women who stayed too long. Who walked away alone. Who are still trying to understand what happened.
💬 For those who don’t have the words
This book offers language for ache. For all the things you couldn’t say out loud, until now.
🪷 For those returning to themselves
If your faith cracked in the dark, these pages honour the parts of you that are still finding light.

This is not poetry. It’s poetry for your breath. Your healing.
