Some stories don't ask to be written. They bleed their way out.
This is the unraveling of a soul-part dream, part wound, part silence.
Love that felt like war.
Duty that broke something sacred.
And a mind, once calm like the sea, now swallowed by storms.

As Long as We're Together by writers_cove13

To what sheer lengths would you traverse to be together with your beloved one? A heartrending narrative that begins with a tragedy and revolves around the relentless journey of an individual wherein he rediscovers a lost love as he walks along the agonizing roads to salvation. However, a darker truth lurks inside him as he comes to terms with his fate: a shocking revelation that could either topple his world entirely or arrive as a panacea that would relieve him from the torments of his convoluted mind.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL by EnigmaExplorers

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.

He Bled: Just For Being by chaoticiink

Welcome to HE BLED: JUST FOR BEING This is not a love story. This is a wound - a confession carved from truth, the kind people fear to speak but cannot stop feeling. I am their mirror. A puppet to my emotions, I dance to the pull of survival. Every page bleeds something different - pain, defiance, lessons learned in fire. There is no single plot here, only fragments of life. Each chapter stands alone, yet they all carry the same heartbeat: He bled. Just for being.

Whisper of Silence |✓ by WhenLifeGivesUDemons

Trapped. Surrounded on all sides by an overpowering barrier visible only to you. A barrier consisting of your thoughts, your dreams, your hopes, separating you from the rest of the world. Thoughts struggling to escape, the memories vivid in your head. You're trying to push back the flood of emotion, trying to break down that wall that's separating you from the judgement that awaits you at the other side. Your fears captivate you and morph you into a new person entirely. Surrounded on all sides and breaking into cold perspiration. Enveloping you is that same fear, gripping at your heart. You stand still hoping for the storm to back down, hoping for another chance. Sooner or later you're faced with reality and you'll know there's no turning back. All that remains is a whisper of silence.

Autumn and Entropy by GrimGriminney

/Complete/ A Novella, examining the meaning of autumn and its fading wonder, and the things that linger in life and follow us as we go about way. Something found me out there in the quiet places. From within the wild and green places, something reached out. This story is but a small piece of an infinite puzzle. The thing that lingers along with me on myriad jaunts through the woods and fields. It's an old friend and an old foe, and it surrounds me with an embrace of chaos and coincidence. Its name is Entropy.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths by TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.
