What Really Matters: Poems about Love, Loss & Trauma

This is the story of a life told in poetry—of a boy once invisible who came to feel seen through love, and of a man who lost everything when that love was torn away.

It began when I met Celta, the first person who looked at me as if I was worth loving. Through her eyes, I woke up from the long fog of emotional neglect. After her tragic passing, I met Lynn—my soulmate, my home, my reason to believe that healing was possible.
