What comes after heartbreak?

Not answers. Not immediate peace. Not some perfect new love. But something.

This book is about that something — the in-between space where you haven’t fully healed, but you’ve outgrown what broke you. A place where grief quiets, reflection sharpens, and a different kind of strength begins to grow — one that doesn't rush to erase the past but learns from it.

Something After is my second poetry collection, a raw, unflinching follow-up to Heartbreak. These poems don’t pretend closure is clean or linear. They move through complicated truths, the ghosts we carry, the versions of ourselves we outgrow, and the delicate flickers of belief that love could still find us, just not in the way we imagined.

This collection is divided into five sections and it is deeply personal, unapologetically reflective, and quietly powerful.

If you ever held on too long, had to rebuild without apology, if you’re learning to stop shrinking for someone else’s comfort and still hope despite it all, this book is for you.
