They taught me that silence is safer than mercy. That a steady hand means survival, and hesitation means death.
I was never allowed to dream. Dreams are for those who sleep soundly, not for those who carry ghosts in their veins.
Every name I take is a weight I cannot bury. Every command I follow pulls me deeper into the dark.
And in the quiet of the night, I wonder if the lost ever find peace, or if we simply learn to live without it.

The Marriage He Wouldn't Undo
I've never been good at making decisions-somehow, I always end up hurting the people around me. So I chose silence, thinking it was the safest choice. But silence, I learned, is its own kind of chaos. It twisted how people saw me. Misunderstood. Misread. Misjudged. And yet, I remained quiet... because I didn't know how to ask for help. I couldn't survive without someone to lean on-without a presence to anchor me. So I chose the path that looked easiest, not because it was right, but because it was available. I got married-not out of love, not out of longing, not even curiosity-but out of necessity. It was an agreement, a shared convenience. A quiet contract between two strangers who needed something from each other. No butterflies. No spark. Just survival. I married a stranger... because sometimes, the heart stays silent when it's been unheard for too long.

Quiet storm
You ever love somebody so soft, it sound like rain hittin' a window instead of thunder? She wasn't chaos - she was calm. The type of peace that make a man put down everything that hurt him just to hold her right. They called me hard 'cause I survived. She called me human 'cause I could still feel. I ain't know love could whisper. Ain't know healing could hum. She ain't fix me - she reminded me I wasn't broken. She saw poetry where the world saw pressure. Told me even the street got a heartbeat if you listen close enough. Now I walk different. Talk different. Love louder - even when I don't say nothin'. 'Cause love like ours don't need noise. It's steady. It's home. It's the quiet after the storm.Complete
Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
