Some loves leave a scent that never quite airs out of the room.Ashes of You is a poetry collection about the particular ache of loving someone who was never meant to stay - the falling, the good months, the ending, and the long, uneven work of clearing the smoke afterward. Written by Marlowe Vance, these are original poems for anyone who has ever reached for a phone that wouldn’t answer, kept an old jacket for the smell of it, or caught themselves grieving a person who is still, somewhere, very much alive.Structured as a single emotional arc - attraction, love, the break, the grief, the anger, the slow clearing, and what’s finally left standing - this collection moves through heartbreak the way it actually happens: not in a straight line, but in waves, relapses, small victories, and quiet Tuesday mornings that suddenly feel bearable again.What’s inside:- 120 original poems arranged across ten thematic chapters, tracing a complete arc from first spark to hard-won peace- Short, aching pieces for a two-minute read and longer, more immersive poems for when you have the whole evening- Vivid, unsentimental imagery - smoke, static, streetlights, and the small domestic details that make heartbreak feel so specific- A tone that is honest and literary rather than saccharine: no easy platitudes, no rushed healing- A closing chapter that leaves readers with quiet resilience instead of despair
