Some love stories never end-because they never needed to begin in the traditional sense.

Songs Sung in the Key of Mourning
, Alexandra Reese offers a tender and haunting collection of poems and reflections chronicling a soul-deep connection shared by two young outsiders who found each other in the shadows of adolescence. One awkward and bruised by the world, the other unsure and searching-they lit a lamp in each other's hearts that would never go out, even across years and distance.
Through dances shared, silences broken, and heartbreaks weathered, these verses reveal a love that was never consummated, but never needed to be. It was enough to be seen. Enough to be known. Enough to be loved with truth and safety, if only for a while.
Infused with classical imagery, emotional candor, and the guiding hand of the Roman goddess Bona Dea, this collection is a tribute to the power of remembrance, the ache of unfinished symphonies, and the people who shape us long after they're gone.
Perfect for anyone who has loved deeply and quietly-and still wonders what might have been.
