WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL
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.Complete

The Reaper's Heart
The Reaper's Heart by Zach Aki "Death came for her soul. He left with her name engraved on his heart." He is the end. A silent shadow with a scythe for a spine and stars in his eyes. He does not pause. He does not falter. He does not love. Until her. A mortal girl with no name, no prophecy, no reason to matter- except that she does. Across thirty chapters of rhymed prose and poetic darkness, The Reaper's Heart tells the story of Death falling in love with the one soul he was meant to take. But love rewrites everything- the rules, the stars, even the silence between heartbeats. Told entirely from Death's haunting point of view, this lyrical novel is both a requiem and a romance. A funeral dirge that becomes a love song. A story not about how things end- but what remains when they refuse to. For readers of lyrical fantasy, poetic gothic love, and aching stories about impossible choices.Complete
