You Always Leave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798817269215)

Some people leave. Some feelings never do.

You Always Leave is a raw, unflinching collection of poetry and prose from the life of Natalija Namesic - a woman caught between two countries, multiple heartbreaks, and a mind that never stops asking questions she isn't ready to answer.

These pages hold everything she couldn't say out loud:

• The ache of loving someone across time zones and years
• The strange grief of losing yourself inside a relationship
• The quiet devastation of depression - and the music that pulled her back
• A miscarriage. A betrayal. A heart that kept opening anyway.
• The push and pull of being from a country the world doesn't always understand

Written in the tradition of Rupi Kaur and Atticus, You Always Leave is short enough to read in an afternoon and long enough to stay with you for years. Each poem is a door - and most of them, you'll find, lead to yourself.

"My thoughts are a spider web and my brain is a black widow."

"I didn't just lose you. I lost me."

"Don't let the dark thoughts win. Because the music sounds so much better alive."

For anyone who has ever felt too much, loved too hard, or stayed too long - this book was written for you.
