She never meant to keep a record - not like this.

Hidden between the lines of a story that looks like fiction is something much closer to the truth. Told in fragments, confessions, and late-night entries that were never meant to be read, Ink bleeds truth traces one girl's quiet unraveling - and the slow, deliberate way she begins to stitch herself back together.

A voice she should have silenced. A past that won't stay buried. The more she writes, the more the lines blur between memory and story, love and damage, survival and the illusion of healing.

This isn't a tell-all. It's not a memoir. It's a coded map - a diary disguised as a novel, for anyone who's ever loved the wrong person and questioned their own sanity in the process. For anyone who struggled.

Some stories are made up.
Others are written because they have nowhere else to go.

What If I Was Nothing by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

"Things I Never Said Out Loud" by LIA12WREN

This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

Every Poem Is Your Fault by KindiBayler

Every Poem Is Your Fault isn't just a collection, it's my proof. Every page is what you did to me, every line the hurt you left behind. I wrote the things you'll never say out loud, the scars you keep pretending don't exist. You can lie to yourself. You can lie to them. You can even lie to the life you keep running back to. But the truth doesn't change, it's carved into every poem on these pages. This is for anyone who's been broken by someone they trusted and left carrying the silence alone. These pages hold the weight of betrayal, the ache of what was never said, and the strength I clawed back by putting it into words. Every poem is proof of what happened. Every poem is your fault. Disclaimer This book is a work of creative expression. The poems within it are born from lived experiences, emotions, and imagination, but they are not intended as factual accounts of any one person, relationship, or event. Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Echoes of Us by venomserenity

He was alone, adrift in a life that felt empty, teetering on the edge of despair. She appeared unexpectedly-a stranger, yet someone who could see him in ways no one else ever had. One night, one moment, changed everything. Words were exchanged, hearts opened, and lives were altered but some encounters leave more than memories. They leave echoes. As time stretches on, love and loss weave together, shaping the paths we walk, the choices we make, and the people we become. How far would you go to hold onto someone... even when you know they can't stay?

Lost In Sea by Naina_14

Trauma doesn't fade - it hides. In smiles. In silence. In the way your heart skips when someone says your name. Noor thought she had buried her past...the fights, the tears, the night everything fell apart. Her mother's anger. Her relatives' curses. And Ayaan... the boy who promised to stay but walked away instead. Years later, she's not the same girl anymore. She's stronger. Louder. Busier. She's building her career, learning to live again - pretending she's over him. But when she moves back home, everything comes crashing down. Because Ayaan is still there. Different, successful, but still him - the same eyes, the same pull, the same chaos. And this time... he's not walking away. Between hidden dates, strict parents, and the scars of old wounds - Noor and Ayaan try again. But love after trauma isn't simple. It's raw. It's painful. And sometimes, it's the only thing that makes you feel alive again.

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.

"By the time you are reading this, I'm gone." 𝐴𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙, 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑖 𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑? 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 is officially at rock bottom. Once a wild and carefree university student living in a bustling city, her life is uprooted. She finds herself living with her estranged mother in a quiet and unfamiliar seaside town. June struggles to come to terms with her mental illness and the effects it has in her life. She knows that healing isn't linear, it takes work; dedication. In wake of her condition, the last thing on her mind is a romantic relationship. But something, or rather someone, is determined to prove otherwise. As she navigates the complexities of her relationships, June learns that although she may not always believe it; she is worthy of love. --------------------------- 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞 knows what it means to lose everything. A person fragmented, misunderstood. Known of by many, but never truly seen. Perceived as either the quiet painter who took care of his sick mother, or the angry and distraught man who lost her too young. Battling with his grief and haunted by the condition that plagued his late parent, he had no where left to turn. That is, until he met June. She is light where he is shadow, amongst the turbulence in their lives they find refuge in each other. However, some wounds need more than simply time to heal. As they will learn, love can hurt as much as it can heal. (𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞). 🏅4 in Moving Forward (06/11)

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory) by amirina1701

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

Part Of Him by Elira_Solane

She was supposed to remember the best day of her life. She just can't remember if it ever happened. Ava used to believe in ordinary magic. Messy mornings with Maya knocking over mugs and yelling about coffee filters. Studio nights where Aiden argued about fonts like the world depended on it. Quiet days filled with pencil smudges, gold light, and music she never let anyone else hear. She had rules, routines, a voice that filled the room when she wanted it to-and a life that, while chaotic, was hers. Then came the stillness. They say she's healing. That memory can be slippery after grief. But the pieces don't align. Why does she flinch when he touches her? Why do her old journals sound like they were written by a stranger? Why does Aiden-distant, bitter, and quiet-look at her like she betrayed him? And why does Maya, the one person who always told her the truth, suddenly fall silent when Ava starts asking questions? Her past is blurred. Her future feels chosen for her. And in the mirror, she sees a girl shaped by someone else's hands. But somewhere, buried under fog and half-truths, a part of her remembers what it felt like to belong to no one. Not loved. Not kept. Not rewritten. Just... hers.
