I have her heart and I won’t give it away…🥀

A poem from the book a Toxic Love Story:

Unlearning Love - Healing begins here

By Sammi Brown

#poetryquotes #poembook #poetrybook #poetrybookquotes #poetrycommunity

2025/9/25 Edited to

Reading 'Unlearning Love' struck a chord with me, especially at 2 AM when emotions tend to surface unfiltered. The poem captures the delicate process of healing from toxic relationships and reclaiming one's heart. It's a reminder that holding onto hurt only delays the journey toward self-love and peace. The line "I have her heart and I won’t give it away" stayed with me—it speaks to the protective, sometimes stubborn way we guard our feelings after being hurt. But this poem gently encourages unlearning those patterns, opening the door to vulnerability again. For anyone wrestling with the shadows of past love, Sammi Brown's words offer solace and strength. What’s even more powerful is how the poem is part of a larger narrative in 'A Toxic Love Story,' a book that delves deeply into the impact of love that harms more than heals. This poem is not just about pain but about starting fresh, embracing healing, and discovering love within yourself first. Sharing this has helped me connect with others in the poetry community who find comfort in expressing their emotional journeys through verses.
