The Museum of Things I Never Said

ome things are never said. They are simply carried.The Museum of Things I Never Said is a collection of poetry and prose about what happens when the person who once made you feel safest becomes the person you have to heal from.Told through poems, unsent letters, memories, and haunting museum exhibits, it follows a love from its beautiful beginning-the first meeting, the first "I've never told anyone this before," the first person you could imagine staying for-to the quiet moment you realize you have disappeared inside it.It is about heartbreak. Betrayal. Missing someone you know you cannot return to. The things your body remembers long after a relationship ends.But somewhere between the missing exhibits and the things left unsaid, this stops being a story about losing someone.It becomes a story about finding yourself again.For anyone who has ever loved someone deeply, stayed because they remembered the beginning, or had to learn that missing someone doesn't mean you are meant to go back.Welcome to the museum.Some exhibits are fragile.Some are missing.And some were never theirs to keep.
