Fallen Daughter. Any Thoughts?

I love the idea that you began the poem with a question. The "borrowed words" lend strength to the poem and the idea of "fallen daughter," like the "fallen angel," gives the poem a host of references and enhances the emotion expressed by the poet and felt by the reader. Finally, the juxtaposition of the fallen in the beginning with "haven" at the end, sums up the horrific comparison of, if I may borrow a title, "Paradise Lost." Congratulations on a wonderful poem.
