Diary of a Heartbreak
"There is no hiding my heart anymore. As confused as my head is trying to understand it, the heart bleeds ink upon these pages like some medieval doctor draining an illness. Yet it is no illness to feel. While the mind may have evolved, the heart is as primal as ever. No wild beast should be expected to heel." -Chris Foster
Chris Foster shares the raw emotions we try to hide in his most personal collection of poetry yet.
From the moment the world slows and the purpose of your heart becomes clear, to the devastation of watching dreams become an altered reality with someone else cast in your place, Diary of a Heartbreak describes in visceral detail the cabaret of emotion involved in relationships. Cycles of love and loss spiral sometimes upwards, sometimes downward. This book contains unabridged access to genuine entries from the poet's personal diary, to crafted lyrics, songs, quiet anxiety, bombastic confidence, poems long and short. Each chapter is themed to match the stages of a relationship, so you can find what you need when you need it most.
