Requited

What happens when love changes you as deeply as it holds you?

Requited is an emotionally immersive poetry collection exploring intimacy, attachment, grief, reciprocity, and the quiet return to love.

Through sensual reflection and psychological depth, Candace D. Marquez Green traces the evolution of a woman navigating desire, vulnerability, emotional survival, and the tension between connection and self-preservation.

These poems ask:

• Why do we cling when we know we should let go?
• What does love reveal about the unhealed parts of us?
• Why does intimacy require so much courage?

Tender, feminine, and deeply self-aware, Requited speaks to anyone who has loved deeply.

From the author of In glimpses & reminisces and Vowed Rivalry: to have and to lose.
