Where Love Becomes My Strength: Poetry of love, hypocrisy and self demolishment

by Merton T Pajibo

$16.00

Book Description Where Love Becomes My Strength is a poetry collection born in the quiet aftermath of love—where tenderness collides with contradiction, and devotion begins to question its own cost. These poems do not romanticize love as flawless or saving. Instead, they confront it as it is lived: generous and wounding, sincere and hypocritical, capable of nurturing us while slowly asking us to disappear. Moving through love’s many faces—the love that protects, the love that demands silence, the love that erodes boundaries in the name of loyalty—this collection examines how self-demolishment can masquerade as devotion. Hypocrisy is not only exposed in others, but within the self: in what we endure, what we excuse, and what we continue to call love even when it fractures our wholeness. Yet this is not a book rooted in defeat. It is written from the moment awareness arrives. As grief sharpens into clarity, love transforms—from a source of collapse into a source of strength. These poems trace the alchemy of pain into power, and the quiet, radical decision to remain open without remaining broken. Where Love Becomes My Strength is for readers who have loved deeply, lost themselves in the process, and found the courage to return. It offers no easy answers or tidy resolutions—only truth, vulnerability, and the enduring strength that comes from loving honestly, especially when that honesty begins with oneself.
