What happens when love turns into something unrecognizable? When the butterflies vanish, and all that's left is bruised trust, scorched memories, and the bitter echo of promises once made? In Crossing the Line, I bare my heart and every scar it carries. This collection is my story-told in poems-as I journey from the innocence of love to the bitterness of betrayal. Through five emotional chapters, I unravel what it meant to love deeply, to lose myself in someone else, and to slowly crawl back from the ruins of who I used to be. If you're healing, hurting, or simply trying to understand the chaos of your own heart, I hope my words remind you that you are not alone-and that sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is choose yourself.
