Still, I Opened is a collection of poems that moves through love, desire, heartbreak, and healing — not as separate experiences, but as parts of the same story.

These poems are for those who feel deeply, even when the words don't always come. For those who love fully, crave honestly, and carry emotions that often go unseen.

Within these pages, love is soft and consuming. Desire is unfiltered and imagined without shame. Heartbreak is heavy, honest, and familiar. And healing does not arrive all at once — it comes slowly, in quiet moments, in choosing to continue, in learning how to sit with what you feel.

This book does not try to fix you.

It meets you where you are — inviting you to remember, to feel, to question, and to begin again.
