Battles within

Shadows fell, where love once dwelled,
Betrayal's sting, her heart did quell.
By those she trusted, she was left alone,
Her soul, a flame, that flickered to atone.

A fragile flower, crushed by deceit,
Her petals bruised, her beauty retreat.
Yet, in silence, she finds her strength,
A phoenix rising, from ashes' length.

Her face unseen, but story told,
A tale of wounds, that never grow old.
'Battles Within' - a heart's dark night,
A search for solace, a guiding light.
