The Risk I Took: A poetry collection where friendship and love collide. - Paperback

by Tyler Copple (Author), Tyler Copple (Illustrator)

"I knew the odds weren't in my favor.

But when it was her, I didn't care.

This is not just a book of heartbreak,

it's a record of a gamble.

Of betting my heart on someone who held it gently,

but never fully as their own.

Through raw, unguarded poetry,

The Risk I Took captures the fragile hope

of stepping out of the friendzone,

the quiet unraveling when love isn't returned,

and the painful grace of staying anyway

These pages are for anyone who has loved in the in-between,

where friendship and forever blur,

where every smile feels like a promise,

and every silence feels like the answer you didn't want.

This is the story of risking it all...

and what's left when you lose."
