Never to Have Loved

This collection contains transparent, poetic depictions of heartbreak, betrayal, friendship, family, woes, burnout, toxicity, mental and physical anguish, situationships, infatuation, lust, relationships, savagery, spirituality, social and political injustices, grief, hope, and maybe even a little love. With a little rhyme, a lot of rhythm, some punctuation, and all truth, Dassia Rose highlights the most pivotal moments in her life. She acknowledges hurt and struggle, while also expressing gratitude for the beauty it draws attention to. She encourages and uplifts, while being extremely transparent and realistic about the trauma that informs too many of her decisions. This poetry collection is sure to draw you into Dassia Rose's world while simultaneously admonishing you to acknowledge your own world. Imperfections, heartache, and moments of weakness never negate that concept that love conquers all and it is definitely worth the risk.
