PART I — BIRTH OF A GHOST
Childhood. Innocence that never stood a chance.
Themes:
Feeling older than your age
Watching instead of being held
Learning early that love is conditional
Tone: quiet, observant, eerie.
PART II — THE THINGS I LET TOUCH ME
Romance enters. Desire. Power imbalance. Hunger.
Themes:
Being chosen vs being consumed
Men who confuse possession for love
Wanting depth, receiving chaos
Tone: seductive, dangerous, poetic—but never explicit. Let implication do the damage.
PART III — BONE MEMORY
Loss. Betrayal. Disillusionment.
Themes:
Silence as an answer
The moment you stop chasing
When obsession dies and clarity is born
Tone: cold fire. Sharp. Final.
PART IV — THE WOMAN WHO REMAINED
Rebirth. Not healing—integration.
Themes:
Power without noise
Femininity without apology
Choosing solitude over false devotion
Tone: regal. Controlled. Untouchable.
