Melancholy Stories

MELANCHOLY | MAY GARNER | AVAILABLE ON AMAZON!    This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly you begin to forget I ever existed.

I am waiting for the day your fingers unscrew the pipes, dig through the mess, scrape your heart against rust, just to find me again, so we can do it all over. Here, in these pages, I find myself. In ink pressed against my flesh, I whisper the sadness, the heartache, the decay meant for all the unspoken.    A Poetry Collection by May Garner. Original poems regarding real life experiences.

Dahlia Katherine Monroe moves to Forks after her mother passed to live with her step dad Charlie Swan-seeking quiet, not chaos. But the town has a way of pulling people into secrets older than its trees. Haunted by the fear of losing control-and the even deeper fear of never belonging-Dahlia finds herself tangled in a world she was never meant to be apart of. Between the heavy skies, the weight of expectations, and the impossible pull toward Jasper Hale, Dahlia has to choose between eternal life or death.

Ten years of silence. Ten years of surviving alone, believing he had used her and left. He promised six months. Life made it a year. By the time he returned, she was gone - moved, changed, carrying a secret he could never have known. Now he's back. Rich, unscarred, and happy. And she... can't forget the life she lost. Some love doesn't end. Some wounds never heal. Between what was promised and what was taken... can forgiveness survive? This story is originally written by me and comes entirely from my imagination.

"Sometimes, the most powerful stories are the ones that never even began." In this intimate and nostalgic novel, a young man reflects on the memory of her-the schoolmate who, without ever knowing it, left a mark on his life forever. Through glances, silences, waves from a balcony, and a kiss that was never returned, a story unfolds: one of unspoken feelings, missed chances, and a love that lived only in the space between the possible and the impossible. "What We Never Were" isn't just a love story-it's a tale of how a single person can linger in memory long after they're gone.

"Have to Let It Linger" is a story of a teenage girl trying to make sense of her strange dreams and real-life impulses while dealing with disorders that grow destructive with her. She's met with strong lingering feelings about both those things, and it slowly weakens her worldview, making her question reality while also being hyperaware of reality. It all falls down exhaustingly for her, yet in the midst of all this, she tries to make her social life better but she doesn't realise how thin the gap of reality and fiction has gotten.

The days are long, the evenings golden, and somewhere between sunlight and shadow, hearts awaken. Summer tastes of fleeting joy, whispered dreams, and the soft pull of what might have been. In these pages, love is not grand-it is small, subtle, and unforgettable. A story of moments that stay with you, even when the season slips away.

Not raining but I'm pouring. A rhythmic exploration of a moment where the internal and external blur. Is it rain, or is it a reflection or is it just an illusion? The path is clear, yet I cannot move.

A gentle yet aching narrative of love that remained unexpressed. Through pauses, glances, and quiet longing, it reflects the sorrow of what could have been-if only it had been seen.

"The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." Orion Blackwood lives in two worlds. By day, he is a man of mirrors and gray commutes, moving through the "architecture of obligation" in a world of identical suits and rhythmic monotony. But by night, he explores the Star-Forest-an alien landscape where grief has no object and light precedes temperature. When the boundary between his waking insomnia and his cosmic cartography begins to dissolve, Orion must confront the "garden of lost shades": a place where things have not died, but have simply lost their color. In the vein of The Midnight Library and Solaris, The Gravity of Lost Shades is a lyrical, atmospheric exploration of the absurd, the melancholic, and the quiet beauty found in the silence of the universe. It is a novel for anyone who has ever looked at the ceiling and found it looking back.

41 fragments of a soul in transit. A record of the things we lose in the shadows and the strength we find when we finally stop running. "Some poems bleed, others bloom." ✨️ UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY, 7 PM ✨️

Room 317 was never meant to feel like home. But for Nico, it became the only place where he could still laugh too loudly and pretend time wasn't running out. For Theo, it became the only place where silence finally meant something. They weren't supposed to matter to each other. But they did. And when one of them stops coming back, the other is left with everything they never said out loud.

In a world where women get cooked the moment they try to exceed expectations-disrupting the natural order... one girl rises anyway. And she may or may not be part of the problem. She pushes forward to reach her goal-determined to prove the world wrong. Armed with destructive weapons that answer to her unpredictable nature, she hunts... people who may or may not have anything to do with that goal. Watch as this chaotic girl turns an already absurd world... even worse.

A STORY OF IMMENSE AND ETERNAL LOVE. " a prayer offered with a true heart can even change the lines of fate. "
