This Is How Grief Sings

what if heartbreak wasn't the end of the story?

this is how grief sings is a contemporary sapphic poetry collection about surviving betrayal, losing the person you thought was forever, and slowly finding your way back to yourself.

Through intimate free verse, alex m. explores the quiet moments heartbreak leaves behind, the unanswered messages, empty kitchens, restless nights, and the slow work of healing. These poems move through grief without rushing it, honoring every stage from devastation to acceptance, from longing to self-love.

Written with raw honesty and lyrical simplicity, this collection speaks to anyone who has loved too deeply, been cheated on, struggled to let go, or learned that healing is about remembering yourself.

Inside you'll find poems about:

• heartbreak and betrayal
• lesbian love and sapphic relationships
• grief, loss, and emotional healing
• self-worth and choosing yourself
• queer identity and resilience
• moving on after toxic love
• finding softness after survival

For readers who love emotionally honest poetry, quiet reflections, and books that feel like conversations with a close friend, this is how grief sings is an invitation to grieve, heal, and begin again.

Some loves leave scars.
Some scars become poems.
