Because that person Said they love you too, unconditionally?" "- Does he hold your hand Or did he try to go under your skirt? -At least he's never laid his hand on me Like you did" * * * In "The edge of the bed" readers are invited on an intimate and vulnerable journey marked by unresolved childhood trauma and the heartache caused by a love that never quite fits. This collection is a sore reflection of pain, healing, and the bittersweetness of a past that foreshadows future relationships. The poet revisits the fractured childhood memories where love was conditional, and apologies were currency. Each poem is a puzzle piece, piecing together the poet's shattered identity.
