Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features. breakup notes from a love story i made up in my head is for the hopeless romantics who dream in the daylight and trip over themselves in the process. It’s inspired by the people who come into our lives for a short amount of time, a few hours or a few days at most, and change them in ways they’ll never know. It traces how the fantasy of someone lingers longer than they did, how it replaces what we know about someone until that’s all that’s left. How does a dreamer know when it’s time to come back to earth? How long does it take to get a over a what-if? Perhaps, the narrator questions, it’s in the falling that the healing happens, and in the time it takes a hopeless romantic to learn to fly again.
