Mosaics
Toxic relationships often hide in plain sight, their grip hard to break. In *Mosaics*, the poet unveils the harsh truth of toxic love, inviting readers into the depths of its pain and sorrow. Each poem pulses with raw emotion, from the rush of first love to the devastation of its collapse, steeped in longing and quiet desperation.
At its heart, *Mosaics* speaks to the need for self-care and self-preservation, urging awareness of love's darker side before it consumes. The collection carries a message of hope, reminding us that though we may struggle, we are not alone, and healing remains within reach.
Through its stark honesty and haunting beauty, *Mosaics* serves as a poignant reminder of love's potential for destruction and the strength found in moving forward.
