The Ones Who Were Never Mine

The Ones Who Were Never Mine is a collection of poetry and lyrical prose about the strangers, almost-lovers, temporary companions, and ghosts of online connections that leave marks deeper than they were supposed to. Yes, they are based on true events and real people that will wonder which title are about them. Through heartbreak, desire, loneliness, grief, self-denial, and the quiet ache of being a woman who feels too much, this collection explores the people who came briefly but changed something permanently. Some were never lovers. Some were never friends. Some were only possibilities. Yet each one became a mirror, a wound, a lesson, or a muse. This is a book for anyone who has ever mourned something that never fully happened, loved someone they never truly had, or turned their loneliness into art before it could destroy them.
