Half-Light is a collection of poems that live in the in-between-between love and loss, past and present, silence and confession. These pieces don't always have answers, but they have feeling. Soft, sharp, and searching. This book is for anyone learning to exist in the gray, where nothing is certain, but everything is real.

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope
They say love begins in silence... but no one ever warns you how deeply it hurts when that silence never ends. This is not a love story. It is a story of almosts - of late-night conversations that lingered too long, unspoken feelings that grew too heavy, and eye contact that somehow meant everything... yet nothing at all. She loved him quietly. And when she finally tried to speak, he never listened in the way her heart needed him to. So she became patient. She became understanding. She became everything for him... except chosen. And somewhere between unsent messages, mixed signals, and words left hanging in the air, she realized something heartbreaking- Love does not always destroy you loudly. Sometimes... it slowly drowns you in silence.Complete
