I Wish You Never Left: A Collection of Sad Love Poems for Broken Hearts and Healing Souls
From the bestselling author of The Flower That Went Mad comes a hauntingly tender new collection of poetry exploring the heartbreak that lingers long after love is gone.
I Wish You Never Left is a raw, unfiltered journey through loss—the kind of pain that keeps you up at 3 a.m., scrolling through old messages, hoping they’ll say something different this time. It’s about missing someone so much that their absence starts to feel like a second skin. It's about waking up and checking your phone out of habit, only to remember, again, that they’re not coming back.
These pages bleed. They ache. They remember.
This book is for anyone who’s ever loved so deeply it nearly destroyed them. For those who gave everything, only to be left behind. For those still picking up the pieces, still hoping for one more text, one more chance, one more “I miss you” whispered into the void.
You might think no one understands what you're going through—but these words do. They sit with you in the silence. They cry with you. They let you feel every wave of sorrow, and they don’t ask you to be okay before you're ready.
There is no silver lining here—only truth. And maybe, just maybe, that’s enough to get through another night.

About the author
Yogesh Chandra
17 books9 followersYogesh Chandra is a best-selling author from Fiji, known for his evocative and soul-stirring poetry. He earned his degree from the University of the South Pacific and launched his writing career in 2017 with his debut poetry collection, The Tragedy of Our Lives. Since then, his subsequent works—A Beautiful Poison, The Flower That Went Mad, and The Words I Could Never Say—have all become bestsellers on Amazon worldwide. His latest book, Lithium, is out now.
Yogesh’s writing is deeply inspired by the chaos, heartbreak, and sadness he has faced throughout his life. Losing his father at just 10 years old caused immense trauma, leaving scars he has carried ever since. These hardships were compounded by major episodes of depression during high school, which led to a relentless battle with suicidal tendencies. It was during these darkest moments, where he felt torn between despair and survival, that he discovered poetry. Writing became his refuge and a lifeline, helping him channel his pain into words and ultimately giving him a reason to keep going.
Heartbreak has also played a pivotal role in Yogesh’s journey. After experiencing love that left him broken, he turned to poetry to mend the pieces of his shattered heart. Each line he wrote became a step toward healing, allowing him to process the pain and rebuild his emotional strength. Poetry became not only a means of survival but also a testament to his resilience, showing him that even the deepest wounds could inspire art.
Having endured so much darkness, Yogesh finds joy in the simple things in life. To him, light often feels like something from a fairy tale—rare and fleeting. His only mechanism of healing has been through poetry, where he transforms his struggles into art. His days are spent navigating a whirlwind of emotions, while his nights are devoted to translating those feelings into words.
Today, Yogesh aspires to be a voice for those who suffer in silence, offering them hope and understanding through his poetry. His work resonates deeply with readers who find solace and strength in his words.
When he’s not writing, Yogesh enjoys immersing himself in nature and capturing its beauty through landscape photography, which he pursues as a passionate hobby.

This poetry collection is set a year and six months on after a break up, hence the title and two poems really stood out to me:
The Weight Of Silence, how it can feel like a funeral when someone just ghosts you and falls silent.
If We Hadn't Met, was such a beautiful nostalgic poem inspired by nature and all about the way life can be beautiful but is enhanced by feelings and emotions.
A beautiful reflective collection in the aftermath of break up pain.
