In this captivating poetry collection, Asha Walker explores the intense, often misunderstood experience of limerence- that all-consuming, obsessive state of infatuation that masquerades as love. Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, these poems chart the dizzying heights of euphoria, the aching lows of uncertainty, and the bittersweet journey of self-awareness.

 

 

“Love is the ground beneath the tracks

solid, steady, there even when the ride stops

 

what we had was a carnival attraction

thrilling, yes, but designed to end

 

I realized too late that I’d been chasing a ghost

trying to turn a hologram into a home

 

the come-down was brutal

withdraws from a drug called “you”

shakes, sweats, regrets, as I tried to reassemble

my identity from the pieces I’d left scattered at

your feet

 

Now I’m in recovery learning to differentiate

between love and its many doppelgangers”
