Some loves become memories. Some become ghosts. And some stay buried beneath the skin, refusing to leave. In Kore, love is not a single story but a collection of wounds, prayers, confessions, and quiet miracles. Through fourteen haunting poems, a young woman navigates devotion, heartbreak, desire, loneliness, and the fragile journey back to herself. Lovers come and go, promises decay, and longing lingers long after goodbye.
Yet amid the ache, she discovers something unexpected: the person she was searching for may have been herself all along.
