i hate love... but i yearn for it

For the girl who gave her all and still wasn’t chosen. For the ones who love too hard, feel too deeply, and always seem to end up with a broken heart. This collection is split into three parts, ”Betrayal,” “Yearning,” and “Healing,” each filled with raw emotions, quiet realizations, and the journey of finding yourself again after losing yourself in someone else. These poems are for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why not me?” For anyone learning how to let go of the person who hurt them and hold onto who they’re becoming. This isn’t just about heartbreak. It’s about healing. And learning to love yourself harder than you ever loved them.Originally from Darlington, South Carolina, Emily Britt is a 21-year-old writer and senior education and English major at Clemson University.
