Cries of a Broken Heart

Behind every smile is a story.

Behind every silence, a scream.

This book holds both.

Cries of a Broken Heart is a raw, unfiltered collection of poetry that gives voice to the pain we hide, the love we lost, and the strength we forgot we had.

With vulnerable honesty and lyrical depth, Makenzie Rae lays bare the truth of what it means to grieve what was, question what is, and still-somehow-hold on to hope.

These poems speak to anyone who's ever:

given their heart and watched it be mishandled

stayed silent when they were dying inside

tried to move on while still carrying the weight of shattered promises

or fought to believe in love again-even when every part of them said not to

This book isn't just a collection of poems.

It's a companion for the nights you can't sleep, the days you fake a smile, and the moments you wonder if anyone else truly understands.

Makenzie Rae does.
