Lover, You Should've Stayed: A Raw Poetry Collection on Heartbreak, Young Love, and the Ache of Loss

Rate this book
If you’ve ever loved someone who didn’t love you back the same way—this book is for you.

Lover, You Should’ve Stayed is a deeply emotional poetry collection exploring the ache of young love, the pain of abandonment, and the quiet grief that follows when someone walks away without warning. Written in raw, unfiltered verse, this collection captures the heartache of unspoken goodbyes, the longing that lingers long after the relationship ends, and the pieces of yourself you try to reclaim in the silence they leave behind.

These 100 poems are for the overthinkers, the romantics, the broken-hearted—anyone who’s ever stayed up too late wondering why they weren’t enough. From short stinging lines to longer, soul-baring pieces, each page invites you to feel, reflect, and slowly let go.

If you loved The Tears That Taught Me, Pillow Thoughts, or Her, this book belongs on your shelf.

This is your permission to grieve the one who left—and to begin healing.
