fugazi-book

The writing is a reflective and emotionally intimate exploration of the aftermath of a deep emotional bond that has unraveled. It captures the speaker’s sense of loss, confusion, and longing as they navigate the ambiguous space between what once was and what remains. Themes of memory, unspoken grief, and the quiet persistence of unresolved feelings thread throughout the poem, as the speaker contemplates the cost of silence and the ache of change. Despite appearing “fine,” they are haunted by a lingering absence and the unanswerable question of whether healing means letting go or holding on differently. The poem ultimately conveys the strange, liminal state of loving someone who no longer feels reachable.
