The reason I stayed is a raw, unflinching collection of poems that trace the journey from silence to survival, from unanswered prayers to love that feels like grace. Karl writes with ink that bleeds-confessing trauma, addiction, heartbreak, and the quiet wars waged within. But through it all, one presence remains: his wife, Andeo, whose love becomes scripture, sanctuary, and salvation. These poems are not polished-they're personal. Not sermons-they're scars. And in every line, Karl proves that even when dreams fade, devotion endures.

Even After Eden

36 parts Ongoing

She thought grace was out of reach- until a boy who prayed in quiet found her in the ruins. He didn't try to fix her. He just stayed. And somehow, staying became healing. Because love doesn't always arrive loud- sometimes it kneels, waits, and believes. And sometimes, God writes the softest love stories in the shadows.
