This isn't a love story.
It's the aftermath.
It's the 2 a.m. texts that never came.
The closure you had to give yourself.
The version of you that kept showing up for someone who never showed up back.
Hard Pills to Swallow is for the ones who loved too deeply, forgave too easily, and are finally learning to choose themselves. Each poem is a bitter dose of truth - about heartbreak, healing, and the kind of self-respect that's born from being broken one too many times.
You'll dog-ear the pages that feel like your own.
You'll whisper me too.
And by the end, you'll remember that letting go doesn't mean you lost - it means you survived.
Because sometimes love hurts,
and sometimes healing does too.
These are the hard pills to swallow.
