**Spiritual Warfare**

In the shadows where temptations weave,
You had the gifts, yet chose to deceive,
A godly woman, a teacher divine,
Cast aside for the fleeting, the false, the malign.

You traded your soul for the glittering prize,
Not seeing the truth wrapped in beautiful lies.
Fortune and fame, they danced in your sight,
But dreams turned to ashes, lost in the night.

Now you wander, a ghost in despair,
Amongst the walking dead, a soul laid bare.
You tossed aside love for the siren's sweet call,
And now you’re left fractured, a shadow, a fall.

The warmth of her love, now a ghostly refrain,
You’ve buried your heart in the depths of your pain.
The laughter of children, the pitter of feet,
Are echoes of memories you’ve chosen to cheat.

Once she cradled you, with her heart on her sleeve,
Now you’re haunted by choices, and webs that deceive.
A daughter you’ve lost in the fog of your shame,
For the fleeting embrace of a fleeting name.

Rewind the clock to the days that you knew,
When she was a baby, and all she sought was you.
You turned from the light, embraced the abyss,
While she stood by your side, offering love’s sweetest kiss.

You thought you were better,...
