He loved her. He lost her. And somewhere in the silence she left behind, he found himself. Told through fifty poems and five unsent letters, We Were a Poem I Never Finished traces the full arc of a love that once felt infinite, and the quiet unraveling that followed. From the rush of first touch to the ache of absence, this long-form poetic narrative explores what it means to stay soft while surviving heartbreak, to grieve without shame, and to find healing in the echo of what almost was. This is not a story of getting her back. It’s a story of getting himself back. A book for anyone who’s ever loved too deeply, let go too late, or dared to begin again.
