This book is for everyone who has loved and been let down.
This book is for everyone who loves so deeply that it is felt physically—deep within their soul—yet still feels misunderstood.
This book is for those who stay up late with swollen eyes, wondering if the pain will ever stop.
This book is for those who have lost hope and are slowly finding their way back to themselves.
This book is for those who yearn to be loved, so they search for it in all the wrong places.
This book is for those who look in the mirror and know they deserve better.
This book is for those who want to disappear, but find new reasons to stay every day.
This book is a piece of me—
my grief, my hope, my healing,
and the parts of myself I once thought I had lost.
You will get better.
The pain will stop.
And you will find your way back to yourself.
I hope you find comfort in knowing
you are not alone.

At the end of I Never Loved You, you will find original work from my earlier poetry collection, Butterflies, written in 2018.
