There are books that tell stories, and then there are books that leave shadows behind. The Moon Watched Me Bleed, Said Nothing: A Gothic Poetry Collection on Obsession, Confession, and Lingering Ghosts by acclaimed author V.B. Bonny belongs firmly to the second category. This haunting collection of gothic poetry invites readers to step into the dimly lit corridors of memory, heartbreak, and unhealed wounds—spaces where longing lingers and silence speaks louder than words.
The central image of the moon—ever watchful, ever silent—serves as a powerful metaphor for the quiet witnesses in our lives. We bleed, break, confess, and yet the world often stands still. This collection of poems captures that tension between human suffering and cosmic indifference, between passion and pain, between the yearning for answers and the inevitability of silence.
About the Book
The Moon Watched Me Bleed, Said Nothing is more than a poetry collection—it is an experience. Every poem is a candle flickering in a darkened room, illuminating not only the joy and sorrow of love but also the ghosts it leaves behind. Readers will traverse through candlelit bedrooms where secrets linger, corridors heavy with unspoken confessions, and shadowed corners where obsession blossoms into something dangerous and beautiful.
Each character that emerges from these poems represents a unique face of love—whether tender, perilous, unyielding, or destructive. The verses do not shy away from exploring the raw wounds of human connection: the pain of abandonment, the ache of desire, and the resilience of a heart that continues to love even in ruin. For those who have ever left the door open for someone who never returned, or carried the scent of a memory long after its presence was gone, this book feels like a mirror.
Perfectly suited for readers of dark romance and gothic literature, this collection rests on the delicate edge between passion and despair. It offers solace to those who see beauty not only in blooming roses but also in the thorns they leave behind.
