A Love That Kills: A Poetry Collection on Love, Obsession & Betrayal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798308372714)

A Love That Kills explores the fine line between devotion and control, and what happens when love begins to erode the self.

In this powerful debut, Elizabeth Mallari traces the stages of a fractured intimacy, from the rush of being chosen to the subtle shifts in power, and ultimately to the quiet transformations that occur when survival becomes second nature.

Structured in eight parts, this collection moves through attraction, repetition, adaptation, and recognition. Each poem reveals how easily passion can blur into possession, and how difficult it can be to recognise change while you are still living inside it.

Written in a restrained and intimate voice, A Love That Kills is not only a story of a relationship. It is a study of what remains after it.

This is not a book about being hurt.

It is a book about what hurt teaches.
