you will never find me again

-

you think your heart is moving on
as it pursues the search of me
hopeful that the door is not closed
when it was me who held the key

the key to let you free
the key to let you be
the key is washed away
with all our memories

you yearn for healing in every hug
 to feel tranquillity
you linger for a note of honey
under every raspberry
you crave the taste of growing buds
that brought prosperity
you chase the sound of every voice
that shares my melody
you swim the souls within the eyes
of love you used to see

but you did not want to see
you could not bear to hear
you refused to swallow pride
and you were repulsed by the smell
because you hated what you felt

and now the irony
you look for me in everyone you meet

book review : terms and conditions

Genre: Romance Reading age: 18+ Rating: 7/10 You’ll like this if you’ve read: the Shatter Me series, Ugly Love I’ve been in a reading slump for the longest time, after reading a really confusing fantasy novel. So I was on the hunt for something easy to read, romantic and steamy - and Lauren Asher did not disappoint! This is your typical marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers type book. And even though I knew where it was heading, I couldn’t bare to put this down (Yes, I completed it in 24 hours). It does have some deeper themes of domestic violence, childhood trauma and neurodiversity but Asher touches on these very loosely. The story follows a young billionaire Declan and his assistant Iris, who enter a contractual agreement to help Declan acquire a large inheritance and gain control of his family business. Declan is your typical handsome but cold protagonist with daddy issues and only seems to be moved by a very cheerful Iris, even though he doesn’t like to admit it. ...

book review : seven days in june

Genre: Romance /Coming of Age /Drama Reading age: 18+ Rating: 7/10 You’ll like this if you’ve watched or read End of the F***ing World, It’s Kind of a Funny Story or anything which blends love and mental health. One of my favourite booktokkers always raves about this book, and as it’s black history month, it felt wrong not to read a book by a black author… so I picked up Seven Days in June by Tia Williams. The first thing that must be mentioned is that this story should be plastered with trigger warnings - self harm, substance abuse, suicide, sexual abuse, physical harm, death. You name it, the book has it - which I wasn’t too keen on, I know real life can be shit but I do feel like the story could have been just as powerful without so many different types of traumatic experiences. It almost diminishes the individual experiences in isolation and makes it seem like they must have a culmination of trauma to be worthy of our empathy. That being said it was really well written, very poetic...

book review : heartless

Genre: Fantasy/Romance Reading age: 16+ Rating: 7/10 You’ll like this if you liked The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes or Wicked The Musical. I love a prequel and I love seeing the human side to a villain, so when I found out that this book was a prequel to Alice in Wonderland, and the Queen of Hearts was the main character, I knew it would be right up my street. That being said if you’ve watched or read Alice in Wonderland, you know that the story sort of makes you feel like you’re going mad - Or that you’re reading a 10 year old ‘but it was all a dream’ school essay. Well, the prequel is no different. It's extremely creative and the world building is very patiently curated but it's also by no means an easy read. I kind of felt like Marissa Meyers wanted me to be confused. And although she did capture the magic of the story really well, it sometimes felt so far fetched that it was difficult to properly immerse myself into the plot. That being said once you reach the half way po...
