Wasted Sunsets

It took falling in love, heartbreak, the death of a dear friend, a battle with addiction, a father's passing, and an admittance of complete surrender to write this collection of Poetry. These words were not written out of a conscious decision, but of pure necessity and artistic expression. You will find despair, hope, love, loss, grief, terror, and solutions in these pages, as each presented itself to the author.
Many conversations with friends and strangers have found their way into this writing in the forms of advice, wisdom, and stories as J.D. McIntyre wrestles with his own existence. Naivety was now a distant memory. Life had gone dark. what could life now hold for him after his perceived losses?
The journey taken throughout these pages leads into the dimmest of nights and through to the warmth of daybreak on the other side. You will sit with torment on one page and find yourself meditating on the promise of hope on the next. The light at the end of the tunnel has been witnessed, this collection of poems stands as proof: It gets better.
