I need my heart to be cleansed of your name

2am Thoughts are exactly that, thoughts of the author at different times. I liked the concept, but unfortunately it just didn't work for me. I picked up this book because I was looking for a light read to relax, and I always enjoy poetry for this, but this time it's just didn't deliver, even with not high expectations.

"Modern poetry" it's always tricky for me, and even if I like it very few books have been right for me. I haven't read [b:Milk and Honey|23513349|Milk and Honey|Rupi Kaur|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1491595510s/23513349.jpg|43116473] but I did read [b:The Sun and Her Flowers|35606560|The Sun and Her Flowers|Rupi Kaur|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1499791446s/35606560.jpg|57044162] and hoped to find some good poems on that style on this book too. But between the writing style and the themes of 2am Thoughts, it just wasn't for me. There were some lines I liked but were opaqued for lots more. The message was supposed to be "self love" but I just found the "why do I even want life if I don't have romantic love". Not for me at all.
