The use of the word Soul is twofold. There is actually a person I had a connection with that I deemed as Soul. We connected due to both of us being writers and being part of similar Internet communities. Our friendship blossomed into something more, despite the first part of our relationship being long distance. Eventually, we ended up being in the same location and started living together. My relationship with Soul lasted until May 19, 2008, when I came home and was greeted by a half-page typed Word document on a computer screen. Just like that, our almost six year relationship was over. Once my long term relationship ended, I was running on below E, yet I didnt know how long it would take for me to even get back to where I was, much less at E. I had lost so much of my own identity, and then I wondered if I ever defined who I was to begin with. Before my relationship with Soul became wrought with instability, there was a great deal of inspiration. As a result, I composed a collection inspired by the writings of this other person. These pieces were written in the span of about three months back in the year 2003. I debated whether I should destroy these pieces, since I could not look at them in the beginning without all of the negative things flowing back in. Each time I started to, a voice would say, Queen, dont do it. Then, I would set it aside. In early 2013, while doing a bit of Spring Cleaning, I discovered the collection again. This time around, I didnt feel the anger or the twinge of pain. I just felt an appreciation for the work and was glad for the inspiration behind it. I realized I still had things I wanted to say. I also realized the only way I could really put things behind me was to go ahead and publish the work. The result is what you see here. 8 Five Star reviews later, I think I made the right choice.
