_“I should have known that meeting them would lead to something like this.”_

I thought it the second I saw the police lights flickering against the walls of my bedroom, painting everything in a horrible, guilty glow. My heart pounded, my stomach twisted, and every memory of them came rushing back like a flood I never asked for.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

They were supposed to be good for ...

The old photo frame lay on the table, its glass fractured clean through the middle. One side held my face, grinning, the other — my brother’s, his eyes the same color as the storm outside.

“You never meant it,” I muttered, my fingers tracing the jagged split between us. The house was too quiet, walls heavy with things left unsaid.

He left two years ago. No note. No call. Just a slammed door and th...

The moon hung low, a silver coin barely lighting the crumbling dock where Callum and Ren sat, their legs dangling over the edge, shoes just barely brushing the cold, inky water below.

Neither spoke for a long time. The world felt heavier at night, like darkness made the things they never dared to say just a little easier to voice. Or maybe it made them harder to keep in.

Callum broke first.

“I’m s...

The sky was gray when I left the house, a dull kind of gray that made everything feel heavier. My shoes scuffed against the cracked pavement as I made my way to the old bridge, the one we used to sit under when things got too loud at home.

I clutched the letter in my pocket — the one I never sent. The words inside were messy, smudged with ink where my hands trembled, but it was the truth. Everythi...

“Are you really leaving?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Gabe looked away, his fingers fumbling with the zipper of his jacket. “Yeah. It’s… it’s not my choice.”

“But you can fight it, right?” I stepped closer, searchi...

_Then:_

I walked into class that one day. I didn’t know what to expect. The wood floors and concrete ceiling, all the same, nothing new there. But somebody I didn’t recognize, I wasn’t prepared for that.

He sat there. I knew him from somewhere. Last year....

“An eternity we will spend together”

That’s what you said

They day before you left

Now I lie alone, crying, in bed

It was so sudden

It was so soon

I couldn’t react fast enough

Now it feels like your as far as the moon

Try to get you back

But your gone

Slipping through the cracks of my hands

I’m now grief’s pawn

I loved you

Did you know?

Maybe you did as well

But you didn’t show

I should’ve tol...

I built my walls

with careful hands

Stacked stone on stone

made quiet plans

I gave my heart

to passing ghosts

To lovers, liars, friends

I’d host

They took their turns

they broke, they bent

Left echoes

where their words were spent.

I stitched my wounds

with threads of lies

Pretending love

would never die

The mirror

it shows a stranger’s face

A hollow stare

an empty space

I count the names

...

In the heart of the city

Under neon lights

Out paths crossed

Igniting endless nights

That was years before

You decided to leave

You couldn’t stay, I get it

But you didn’t have to deceive

You met somebody new

You lied to my face

You said they were a friend

I couldn’t keep pace

Then a month ago

You ruined my life

A car crash, a fall

It’s like I’m balancing on the tip of a knife

Now you’re buried...

You whispered softly that you’d always stay,

But then you left and slowly moved away.

The nights we shared now feel like a dream,

Fading like whispers carried far away.

We held each other under stars so bright,

Now those same stars seem so far away.

In every crowd, I still hear your voice,

Calling my name, but it’s too far away.

I loved you deeply, more than I could say,

Now I’m left longing f...
