Rachel
DCruz

Writing about love, loss, and the quiet courage it takes to feel everything — and survive it.

Every poem was about you — Rachel DCruz
I bled poetry when silence failed me.
Rachel DCruz

The voice
behind the verses.

Rachel DCruz is a poet who writes from the heart — transforming raw emotion into powerful, unflinching verses. Her work explores love, longing, healing, and self-discovery, often drawing from personal experience and the kind of quiet observations most people are afraid to say out loud.

With a voice that is both vulnerable and bold, Rachel's poetry invites readers to feel deeply and see themselves reflected in her words. She writes for the ones who have loved too hard, grieved too quietly, and rebuilt themselves when no one was watching.

Her debut collection, Every poem was about you, is available now.

Words that stayed.

Every poem was about you.

Rachel DCruz

A deeply personal debut collection that explores the full spectrum of love — its intensity, its grief, its silence, and its strange, stubborn persistence. These poems were written when words were the only way through.

Whether you've fallen for the wrong person, rebuilt yourself in silence, or mourned a version of yourself you've outgrown — this collection was written for you.

"This collection holds the pieces of me I used to hide — grief dressed as poetry, hope hanging on metaphors, love that never got to speak."
