Her innocence shone, a beacon,
in a world jaded with corruption,
becoming merely another goal
for depravity's delight.
And as blasphemy stole
purity's light,
she crawled into dark shadows
where the unseen one
now ruled her destiny.
Doomed forever
from Elysium's fields,
her mind curls from a light
that was once her guide.

as said before, nicely done, this was thought out of the box which I anxiously expected... Mythology is always a good thing to read... nicely done!
