I thought I’d drown in guilt, choke on the weight of what I’d done— but murder only matters when the body belonged to a man. And he was not a man. Men are made of soft hands and warm hearts, of gentle words that do not cut like rusted teeth. Men do not take with clawed fingers and hungry breath, do not tear skin like wolves r » Continue Reading
I. (The One Who Strikes) My hands were not always weapons. Once, they built, they held, they traced soft lines down the curve of a cheek, the slope of a spine. Now, they leave bruises where warmth used to be. » Continue Reading
You’ve been spilling for some time now. Not all at once—no grand, tragic flood. Just a slow and bitter leak, seeping from places you stopped checking. It pools in your footsteps, sinks into the floorboards, » Continue Reading
Beneath a bloodâred, whispering sky, A soldier treads through cursed fields of night, Armor etched with scars of bygone honor, Haunted echoes trailing each faltering step. His eyes, twin voids of fractured dreams, Reflect t » Continue Reading
What is my place in this? What do I get to claim? Do I get to call it abuse if you call it love? Do I get to hate him if you keep choosing him? Am I still your friend if I can’t smile when you say his name, » Continue Reading

The thick, tangled forest clawed at him—branches tore at his sleeves, roots snagged his boots, the damp earth sucking at every desperate step.
