🕯️ Chapter 1: The Cigarette Between Us

she smiled at me like the sun after a funeral.
I smiled back, hiding a thousand screams.

My name is Kian. I loved a girl who wore sadness like perfume.

She was the storm I prayed for,
and the silence that killed me.

This isn't a love story.
It's a eulogy for the love that never survived the darkness.

If you're here to find butterflies and hearts,
turn away.

But if you've ever loved someone
who broke you just by existing...

Welcome to my ruins.
