Still She Lingers

Grief wears many faces. Some scream. Some whisper. Some hide in the quiet of your own skin.Still She Lingers is a descent into every form of loss: the death of self, the death of a future once imagined, the death of your childself left behind, and the echoes of love that never returned. Every spiral, every fracture, every raw truth spills onto the page. These are the remnants of a heart that refused to disappear even when the world tried to forget it. Pain, anger, longing, and fleeting hope collide in a collection that bleeds, that aches, that lingers. Trigger Warnings & Content Advisory This collection explores themes of trauma, loss, mental health struggles, and survival. Some pieces contain references to abuse, self-harm, suicide, grief, and emotional neglect. Reader discretion is advised. These poems were written to confront pain, not glorify it-to speak the quiet truths many of us carry, and to remind those who find themselves reflected here that they are not alone.
