    About this ebook

    The ramblings of a hormonal teenage girl. Join me on a trip through memory lane with the streetlamps off. This book is a collection of poems and pictures from a time in my life where I was in love with an abusive man. The first time I fell in love with an abusive man, anyway. The back and forth, the push and pull. It's all there in black and white along with several pictures I drew from the same time period. This is the first in a two part series chronicling my poor judgment when it comes to love. These are also my initial forays into publishing and I have immensely enjoyed the process. Maybe someone will read this and feel less alone. Maybe someone will read this and have a good laugh.

    Jesse Toban

    I am a budding author playing around with self-publishing on my way to creating some more serious content when I am finished with my degree as a Psychology student at my local university. I have been through two major relationships that were emotionally and physically abusive. These poems were a way for me to frame the intensity of what I was dealing with.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Apr 4, 2021

      Grief can also be a time of joy. Dad had Alzheimer’s and was deteriorating. In his last year he was 80 years old, but felt more like a teenager. He had an overwhelming love affair with my mum – he would call her “my queen” and serenade her and stare

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
