▷ WHAT I WRITE◁

Some of the things I write don’t stay on this page. Sometimes I go outside when the sky is heavy with clouds and write anyway. I let the words come soft at first, almost harmless, until I read them back and they don’t sit right in my mouth. Most of it ends up in a full bin of poetry I don’t look at twice.

Here, I don’t try to make anything perfect—just things that linger. Moments that catch in your chest before you understand why. I write women loving women and men loving men, connections that feel a little too close, a little too intense to be held neatly. The kind that feel gentle until they aren’t, and stay in your mind longer than they should. The kind of love that sounds simple when spoken, but never feels that way when lived.

I write things that don’t leave me alone after I’m done. Things that stay under my skin, turning into something light but uneasy—like standing too long in a beautiful place and realizing you don’t quite trust it.

It sits in my chest and doesn’t go away. Not when I stop writing, not when I try to ignore it. And I wish the same for you.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Caley, but I go by Cleo. I’m 20, and I like writing, still figuring out where I want to take it, especially when it comes to making bots. For now, I’m just experimenting and seeing what sticks.

A few things about me: I have a toad named Christopher.

I tend to get a little too wrapped up in the things I create, even when I don’t fully know where they’re going yet. I like that part of it though the in-between, the unfinished edges. I’m still putting the rest of myself together as I go.

Not sure what else belongs here… so I’ll leave it at that before I start oversharing lol.

DISCLAIMERS

• I find and credit all of my bot covers. If something isn’t credited properly, it’s not intentional, just let me know politely.
• If you don’t like my bots or what I make, that’s okay. You don’t need to engage with them, just make your own instead of asking me to change or “fix” mine.
• Just be kind with it. That’s all I really ask.
