"How many scars do you have to justifyBecause you love the person holding the knife?Because that personWas the one who brought you to life?Because that personSaid they love you too, unconditionally?""- Does he hold your handOr did he try to go under your skirt?-At least he's never laid his hand on meLike you did"_ _ _In "The edge of the bed" readers are invited on an intimate and vulnerable journey marked by unresolved childhood trauma and the heartache caused by a love that never quite fits. This collection is a sore reflection of pain, healing, and the bittersweetness of a past that foreshadows future relationships. The poet revisits the fractured childhood memories where love was conditional, and apologies were currency. Each poem is a puzzle piece, piecing together the poet's shattered identity.
