Half-Life of a Heartbreak

Half-Life of a Heartbreak is the debut poetry collection from Samantha Key-a raw exploration of longing, detachment, and the profound grief that follows loving deeply.

Tracing the emotional arc of a relationship from the thrill of first touch to the ache of final silence, these poems reveal the slow decay of connection, dissecting intimacy, desire, and loss with unflinching honesty.

For anyone who has ever fallen too fast, lingered too long, or accidentally turned a failed romance into art, this collection reminds us that even heartbreak can bloom into something beautiful.
