The Curse of Letting Go is a collection of poems that speaks to the pain of unfinished goodbyes, the weight of memories, and the haunting silence after love fades. With raw emotion and poetic honesty, Prashant Paras writes not just about losing someone, but about losing parts of yourself in the process.
If you’ve ever loved deeply, hurt silently, or waited endlessly— these words will feel like your own.
"Because letting go isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of carrying pain differently."
From the very first glance, The Curse Of Letting Go feels like an emotional mirror—raw, real, and deeply human. The title alone sparks curiosity, and as you turn the pages, you’re pulled into a space where silence speaks louder than words. Paras captures the ache of unfinished goodbyes and the quiet sorrow of memories that linger long after love has faded. Each poem feels like a whisper from your own past—personal, vulnerable, and piercing.
This isn’t a story in the traditional sense, but a poetic journey through heartbreak, longing, and healing. Through fragmented memories and emotional moments, the poet brings out not just loss, but the transformation that follows . The writing style is simple yet deeply poetic, never forced—each line flows like a sigh, each stanza feels like a moment paused in time. The pacing allows space to breathe, reflect, and feel, making it an intimate reading experience.
What stands out most is the emotional resonance .Themes of love, loss, identity, and emotional survival run throughout, and it’s impossible not to connect. If you’ve ever held onto pain or loved in silence, this collection will speak to your soul . Personally, I found it both heartbreaking and healing,like reading pieces of myself scattered across pages. In the end, this book reminds us that letting go isn’t about forgetting,it’s about carrying pain with strength and grace.
The Curse of Letting Go came at a time when I needed to find someone to relate to my feelings. There's an element of almost spiritual power that flows through its quiet voice; in one fell swoop, it managed to articulate everything I have ever struggled to voice.
Not a so-called big heartbreak with grand gestures of grief. It is about the soft, muffled pain that goes on quietly behind your life after those days of letting go, created by surprises in the memories of the departed or when you miss something you never really got the chance to say goodbye to.
What I loved about it was the honesty. Prashant Paras does not paint these emotions with a pretty gloss. His words give us permission to feel; it is alright to grieve slowly, to accept that some wounds never fully close... and that is perfectly okay. The poems felt less like literature and more like journal entries of a friend who has walked through the same emotional storms as I have.
This is the kind of book that stays close, and one brings along during lonely nights when the heart needs to be consoled. It made me feel seen; somehow, it even helped me begin to forgive myself for the burden I had been carrying.
Beautiful and honest poems about heartbreak and letting go. Every page felt relatable and emotional. I loved how the author captured silent pain in such simple words.
