    What do you do when the world is quiet but your mind won't shut up? 3 AM Unsent Messages is a haunting, intimate collection of fragmented thoughts, whispered confessions, and emotional snapshots scribbled in the dark. Equal parts journal, poetry, and stream-of-consciousness therapy, this book captures the sleepless moments where memories hit hardest, regrets echo loudest, and truths are too raw to say aloud. With the vulnerable honesty of a midnight voicemail and the strange comfort of a stranger's open diary, these unsent messages explore love, loss, nostalgia, and the beautiful chaos of being awake when everyone else is dreaming. This is not a book you read... it's one you feel. This is especially made for anyone who has ever stared at the ceiling and thought, "I shouldn't be feeling this much right now." PS. some photos used as chapter covers aren't mine. ALL CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER/S.

In ink pressed against my flesh, I whisper the sadness, the heartache, the decay meant for all the unspoken.    A Poetry Collection by May Garner. Original poems regarding real life experiences.

    A story that explores the silent pain of grief and loneliness and the fragile bloom of love within a suffering heart. Grace finds herself trapped in the aftermath of several harsh events from her past, each leaving behind wounds too deep to easily heal. Her world becomes a place where surviving feels heavier than living. Until she meets someone completely different from her, someone who shows a quiet but undeniable interest in understanding her. With every conversation, the tension between them grows unfamiliar, intense, and impossible to ignore. But what begins as emotional friction slowly transforms into something deeper than love... A connection that heals.

    Love changes people. Akira Koji doesn't believe that. A cynical philosophy professor haunted by his past, Akira spends his nights smoking by a quiet riverside-until he meets Sakura Ai, a woman desperately waiting for a man who will never love her back. As their friendship deepens, Sakura begins questioning the life she built around a one-sided love, while Akira finds himself dragged back into memories of the woman who shattered his heart years ago. Caught between the ghosts of the past and the possibility of moving forward, both must face a painful truth: Sometimes love doesn't save us. Sometimes it only reveals the parts of ourselves that were already broken. A haunting philosophical romance about heartbreak, loneliness, and the courage to choose yourself, in the era of Taisho.

    So firstly people.... this book is not my regular book. This is a fanfiction of an Indian TV show. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of Indian TV or this show's the couples. There is just one relationship that indulged me enough to write this story. This is one of those books I wrote for self indulgence during the covid time period. A.K.A from the stash. Read at your own will and convenience... happy reading.

    A shard is what remains after something breaks. Not a ruin - a fragment. Irregular, autonomous, complete in itself. Each poem in this collection is a shard: born from a passing image, a sound, a silence - caught before it vanished. No architecture. No continuity. Only the moment of fracture, held still. Silver the Hedgehog moves through each one. He does not explain them. He inhabits them.

    This is what happens when you let a writer's mind wander without a compass. Part non-fictional diary, part fictional playground, Ephemeral Soliloquy houses the stray write-ups that don't belong anywhere else. It is a solitary voice shifting between reality and fiction, ranting and dreaming-all under the quiet cover of the night. Within these pages are quiet musings on the architecture of pain, the heavy weight of lingering memories, and the fleeting beauty found in solitary reflections. It is an unfiltered look at what hurts, what heals, and everything left unsaid in between.

    Not every story needs a plot. Some just need to be felt. This book is a collection of emotions - the kind that linger in silence, the kind that spill onto paper when words are too heavy to speak. It's about first loves that changed too much, friendships that faded, families that shaped us, and the weight of expectations we never asked to carry. It's about heartbreak and healing, longing and rediscovery, the quiet ache of nostalgia and the fragile beauty of hope. Just Feelings... is not one story. It's many. It's everything we live but rarely say out loud. For anyone who has ever loved, lost, or simply felt too deeply - this is for you.

    "Some things are too quiet to be spoken, so they become poems instead." Not every story begins with once upon a time, and not every ending arrives with a goodbye. Some stories are written in the silence after midnight, in the scent of rain before a storm, in pressed flowers between old pages, and in the ache of memories that refuse to fade. 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈𝖑𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕼𝖚𝖎𝖊𝖙 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 is a collection of poems about love in all its forms-the kind that feels like coming home, the kind that teaches you how to wait, the kind that breaks you quietly, and the kind that lingers long after goodbye. But love is only one chapter of being human. These pages wander through grief, healing, childhood, growing up, nature, changing seasons, and the quiet moments that shape who we become. Every poem is its own chapter-a memory, a confession, a question, a farewell, or perhaps a beginning. Maybe you'll find yourself in these pages. In the comfort of a rainy afternoon. In the scent of old books. In the bloom of spring after a difficult winter. Or in the realization that healing is rarely loud. If you've ever loved deeply, mourned silently, searched for home in another person, or found comfort beneath the moon, then perhaps these chronicles already belong to you. Read one poem before bed. Return to another when life feels a little heavier. Take with you the lines that remind you of someone you loved, someone you lost, or someone you're still becoming. After all, this book was never meant to be read in a hurry. It was meant to stay with you, quietly, through every season. Welcome to 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈𝖑𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝕼𝖚𝖎𝖊𝖙 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘. May you find a little of yourself between these pages.
