Ashes of Us: A Poetry Series

I guess i'm a big liar. I promised myself that i will let "One Final Truth" be my last truth i'll ever speak on but here i'm back knocking on your doors with another poetry series based on the experience of this poet, based on what i read, watched and listened, all together combined into a series of poems which deals with something universal that i believe every human has gone through. This time we will lean into theme of heartbreak and betrayal rather than dark, gothic storyline. This new poetry series is titled as "Ashes of Us" and  this specific idea had been sitting for far too long on my table but i never chose to further dive into it. These poems are based on one painful chapter of this poet's life that i always wanted to forget but you see the more something painful sits in silence, the more stronger it starts to haunt you. I always find it hard to talk about this chapter, maybe because the wounds are still fresh and they get even deeper whenever someone new throws shards of glass at me, reminding this poet of the pattern that i always failed to recognize till it was too late. 
Ashes of Us is a poetry series that deals with the betrayal and heartbreak surrounding the friendship. You see both betrayals and heartbreak from a friend are hard to move past. They leave a lasting impact on you, on your view about friendship, pushing you into further misery and leaving you with no choice to never let anyone in your safe space. I'm afraid this is what i have become and i can't recall when i last received an invitation. Not everyone is your friend, not everyone is cruel and not every kind person will be your guide. This poetry series is my summation on this thing called friendship that will bent the way you bent it, the choice is yours in the end that whether to ruin it from your own hands or preserve it like a piece of art in a museum. Like every story, this poetry series tells a story using 5 Arc part.The poems in this series are:

Arc-1 First Cracks
Arc-3 Blades of Betrayal
Arc-5 The Ashes of Us
