In the wake of a love that has collapsed into ruin, the speaker moves through shadowed rooms, memory-haunted hallways, and the wreckage of the self. This collection becomes an autopsy of intimacy, charting a descent through devotion, decay, haunting, and hollowing until it reaches a dawn that offers no promises of healing, only the quiet permission to breathe again.

Across fifty poems, the book follows the long anatomy of heartbreak: from the first soft omen of love to the crimson rupture that ends it, to the ghosts that linger long after the body is gone. It is a chronicle of surviving yourself, of worshipping phantoms, of wearing your wounds, and of learning, slowly and painfully, to inhabit your own darkness without drowning in it. This is a modern gothic elegy for the ones we lose and the selves we lose with them.
