In depths of pain, she dwelled alone, A girl besieged, her heart, a stone. Through agonies vast, she bore the strain, Suicidal thoughts, her constant bane. Then came a soul, a guiding light, Someone who made her world ignite. Beside him, she felt weightless, free, A floating feather, so carelessly. His embrace, a haven so
