Tender & Torn
Tender and Torn is a poetry collection by Vanfelix Onacona—a story written both forward and in reverse.
These are poems of love that once bloomed, bled, and still somehow grew again. Read them from beginning to end and witness sorrow rise into strength. Or start from the end and watch hope slowly unravel into heartbreak.
Every page carries a truth too big to say aloud, stitched together with grace, regret, and healing.
This book is for:
- The ones who held on too long
- The ones learning to let go
- The ones still hoping love can come back differently
Whether you’re healing, hurting, or holding onto something silent—this book was made for you.
Tender and Torn is more than a poetry collection — it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever loved too deeply, broken too silently, or healed too slowly. Written by Vanfelix Onacona, this book invites readers into a world of raw emotion, where each poem unfolds like a page torn from the heart — stitched back together with grace, regret, and resilience. This is a story told in two directions: • From front to back: a journey from heartbreak to healing • From back to front: a slow unraveling of love into loss Inside these pages, you’ll find: • Letters never sent • Prayers whispered in the dark • The softness of holding on, and the strength of letting go Whether you’re moving forward or looking back, Tender and Torn will meet you where you are — and carry you a little further.
