The Murk of Us Michelle Von Eschen

textprosé (slang) a text prose and poetry collection examining the life and death of love in the toxic empath/narcissist dynamic. through sent text messages, poetry, definitions, and more, the murk of us hopes to spotlight the traumatic roller coaster ride that is emotional abuse. heartfelt, powerful, devastating, and poignant, the murk of us was born from the brightest and darkest parts of a bad relationship, from the honeymoon beginnings to the car wreck of an ending, and told by someone who lived through it. an honest presentation of the hypocritical messages spoken by the ones who claim to love us, in a unique format that reads both ways. for the lovers, the empaths, those still stuck in the murk, and the survivors: listen, your story is being told.
