‘Love Nearly Killed Me’, by Halee Maj was like reading the intimate pages of the author’s secret diary, a real account of a woman’s thoughts, with each poem being an honest display of pain; anger; resentment; and agonizing heartache. The author portrays deep revelations about a relationship that she was once devoutly dedicated to, fearlessly exposing candid wounding truths with reference to not just herself, but also concerning specific individuals, with each person playing an explicit role in the unfortunate love-snare. A spoiled love coiled in the tight grasp of fornication, lies, and deceit eventually cause the author to suffer an intricate series of profound self-reflections seemingly intended to help her conquer the heart-wrenching adversities and circumstances that endeavor to torment her resilient passion and devotion for love. If you have ever been in love and devoted your life to someone, whether you are a man or woman, the fury; woe; and resentment that Maj writes about in her poems will surely resonate within the depths of your soul, for it is true that an emotion as captivating, entrancing, and as powerful as love certainly has the effortless ability to ignite a variety of emotions, good and bad, which she visibly establishes in this book.
 
We must applaud her for having the courage to share scattered pieces of her own life’s testament, baring both her strengths and weaknesses. Even though a part of her naturally suffers from the lost love of her life, she does not allow herself to forget or dismiss the value of her heart and of her own life. Maj’s poems are very genuine and force you to analyze the purity and beauty of love, in general. It is also a major wake-up call for many women and men to challenge themselves in understanding the difference between what love is and what it is not. In her pain, she is content with her former marital disappointments, giving room to little by little, move on from the distant past. Maj dares to freely inform the world of how she understands that difference, proving that not only is she intolerable to broken and shattered vows, but she is worthy and deserving of someone who is willing to commit to her, and only her.  The private feelings that are written about in this book are passionate and at times, even fierce.
 
 For example, in Maj’s ‘Thots Destroyer’s Anthem’, she unashamedly exhibits a bold feminine attitude that highlights her internal thoughts about what she believes to be, her ex-lover’s downfalls and mistakes. In this book, we learn more than the author’s thoughts and emotions, we also learn one fact that is most detrimental to many relationships all around the world, the fact that she was not her spouse’s only one. Infidelity, betrayal, and dishonesty are only some of the components that ultimately end the relationship that attempt to inflict self-destruction, misery, and defeat. A broken marriage leaves frozen and cold memories of what once was, as each day she struggles to find strength in her weaknesses. The humanistic characteristics of her identity are mere traits that most men and woman can relate to; bearing the weight of her burdens while sorting out the remnant of what remains.
 
In this book, she is strong enough to confront her tears and anguish derived from the result of a corrupt marital love triangle, while still holding on to a deep burning desire to fulfill her life’s destiny, even without the comfort or reconciliation of the love she formerly adored. Nevertheless, as she reflects, substantial questions continue to meddle with her wandering cognitive, in poems such as, ‘Sometimes’. The manner in which love is described and defined in this book challenges the very essence of what the author portrays as ‘love’. Seeking relief in the divorce from an unprincipled marriage and commitment seems to be the end of only one chapter in her life. Through faith, determination, wisdom, patience, and strength of mind, the malnourishment of a neglected heart gradually sprouts flowers of peace and liberation. A broken spirit begins to contemplate its fullest potential and capabilities with inspirational aspirations to discover new and broadening horizons.
