I wrote your name
in my journal—
too many times to count.
You’ve been running through me.
Which is strange.
I never get attached.
Maybe you changed me.
I used to be just Jon—
the fuck-up,
the fallback.
Bullied into self-deprecation.
Religiously broken.
Constantly depreciating.
But something about you—
your love,
your stillness—
made me want better.
Maybe that’s why you chose me.
Because I was broken,
just like you.
Read the Next Poem
It started with evidence—court documents, voicemails, and text messages meant to prove what was done behind closed doors. But somewhere in the quiet aftermath, it became something else. A record. A release. A slow, sacred beginning.
Letters I’ll Never Send is a poetry and prose collection drawn from the wreckage of an abusive relationship. These pages hold what was never safe to say out loud—fury, sorrow, confusion, love twisted by fear. It’s not a story wrapped in resolution. It’s what healing sounds like when you’re still in the middle.
The print edition includes exclusive poems and reflections not found online. A portion of proceeds goes toward supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
This book isn’t just for the ones who escaped.
It’s for anyone learning how to live after.
