A story of love that bloomed, broke, and left her to rebuild from the pieces. They met by chance. Fell hard. Built dreams between kisses and promises. And then- the slow unraveling. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply and lost quietly. Of betrayal whispered through late-night silences and heartbreak that didn't end with goodbye. It's about watching him become someone else's, while she was still holding onto the version of him he used to be. But it's also about becoming. Told in six parts-Before Us, Becoming Us, The Distance, The Ending, After Us, and Becoming Me Again-this is her journey from first glance to final goodbye, and the love she found on the other side of letting go.Complete
Life as it is
She doesn't talk about it not out loud. Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors. Not the nights that blurred into silence. Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay. But on the page? She tells the truth. In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through. Each poem is a heartbeat. A scar. A step forward. Sometimes backwards. But always hers. Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing. This is not just her story. It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard and still chose to write themselves into the light.Complete
Glow Between the Cracks (poetry book)
This is not a collection of perfect poems- but pieces of light that slipped through the places I thought were broken. Each word is a breath I couldn't take back, each line a moment I lived through-softly, silently, and sometimes, in storms. These poems are for anyone who's ever felt too much, for hearts that hide their glow in quiet corners. Because sometimes, the most beautiful light comes from where we least expect it- between the cracks. "Poems that don't shout. They stay." "Because broken doesn't mean dim."
HER SHATTERED LIFE
⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• She believed she was born to be broken. He had spent years searching for someone he had lost before he was old enough to understand what losing meant. And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars. She was wrong. Avi Rajvansh had power, wealth, and a world that feared his name. But when Isha enters his life, the man who never lets anyone close finds himself willing to destroy everything to protect the girl who believes she is impossible to love. And then there is Dev Malhotra. For years, he has been searching for his missing little sister, the only family he has left. Fragments of a past that refuse to stay buried. Until his search leads him to a girl who has no idea that she may be the person he has been looking for all along. As buried secrets rise, old enemies return, and the truth begins to unravel, three shattered lives find themselves connected by a past none of them remember the same way. One girl who never knew where she belonged. One brother who never stopped looking for home. And one man who would turn the world upside down to keep her safe. She thinks she is the darkness. He sees her as the light of his life. But some truths don't just change the future. They rewrite everything you thought you knew about the past. ⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• Tropes & Themes :--> ╰┈➤ Mafia & business rivalries ╰┈➤ Found family / Hidden Identity ╰┈➤ Long-lost sibling mystery ╰┈➤ Trauma, healing & love ╰┈➤ Slow-burn romance ╰┈➤ Dark secrets & hidden past ╰┈➤ Touch her and die ╰┈➤ Suspense

Each chapter is a wave - sometimes soft and slow, sometimes violent and consuming - revealing how pain shapes, breaks, and rebuilds the soul.
