Love Was My Favorite Crime (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738254422)

Love was an empty home.

Love was me sitting alone while you were in someone else's bed.

In this stunning collection of poetry for anyone who has ever loved and lost, felt invisible, questioned their worth, or struggled to break destructive patterns, May Bhank invites you into the intimate chambers of a broken heart with unflinching honesty and lyrical grace through three powerful sections:

"The Case of a Little Girl" childhood traumas through the eyes of a little girl abandoned by her father, creating a haunting foundation for patterns that would follow into adulthood.

"The Crime of Faulty Loves" the complicated territory of romantic entanglements, forbidden attractions, and the painful reality of loving someone who will never choose you.

"The Confessions of a Broken Heart" a raw chronicle of healing, not as a neat, linear journey, but as a messy, two-steps-forward-one-step-back process of finding your way back to yourself after heartbreak.

A raw, poetic journey through heartbreak and healing, Love Was My Favorite Crime transforms pain into art, darkness into a personal galaxy of stars, showing how creativity can emerge from emptiness. This isn't just poetry, it's permission to feel deeply, to break open, and to rebuild from the fragments of what once was.
