"Like a treasure map in a bottle, We were slowly drifting apart, Mother Nature sailing our purpose out to sea, The more I got to know you, I realised how much of a hoax your devotion was, Almost as fake as the smile I paint across my shattered face." This collection of poetry releases trauma in the form of expression - mainly the words I could never build up the courage to say. Most of these poems present conflict of the mind and allude to mental health struggles, which may be relatable to a certain community of people.

Bassey, a 23-year-old girl who is on the verge of picking up the pieces of her broken life after a big move, meets an unassuming visitor on a random November afternoon at her front porch. Bassey is pushed by the colliding of her past and present into forming a companionship with the visitor, who is a junior pastor from the church in her new neighbourhood. As Bassey's platonic relationship with Lawrence sprouts a bud, lust crawls from its fresh petals to their bosoms. Bassey's newfound freedom in singlehood and Lawrence's longstanding faith are threatened by the fire of their attraction. Bassey and Lawrence must choose between embracing the fire and running away from its tempting red flame. After all, "There is no kindling of fire without burning."
