"Letters to My Exes" - Poetry Book of Grief and Heartache Jessica Villegas has been writing poetry for as long as she can remember. She has written poetry about love and heartache, but it wasn't until her own experience with a break-up that she was able to write poetry in the rawest form of feeling.

Freezing cold from the snow all alone in the park A young girl is startled while walking in the dark She stops to look back, and is blinded by a spark The evil two did what they do, and found their mark Not a second to spare, from out of nowhere, fast as a shark They grabbed and threw her into their rusty blue Buick Skylark
