A shallow heart

M a r r e d, brutally scarred

B a t t e r e d, horribly shattered

Yoke in a damaged shell

[Afraid to be] worn on her sleeve

Such a shame

Love d e f a m e d

A shallow heart

Subjected to agony

Suffered a b l u d g e o n i n g

B l i s t e r s of pride

Betray denial

One thought 

One phrase 

One voice in the dark

"You cannot bury a phoenix"
