White Dove

For years I've tried to love again He haunts me every time I sleep My thoughts of him are such a sin No one knows how thine heart does weep My soul, his memory I keep I've no reason not to move on These thoughts I mustn't act upon Trapped in a cage like a white dove I suffer from daylight to dawn To scream out, "THIS MAN I STILL LOVE!" Such guilt I carry deep inside I'm sorry but I must confess To those I said I loved, I lied He captured me with such finesse Now I must grieve him and repress Oh how I long to touch his skin To be held in his arms again Trapped in a cage like a white dove My desire I hold within To scream out, "THIS MAN I STILL LOVE!"

It's sad to still feel this way after so many years. I think a good title would be This Man I still Love. Your emotions are truly expressed here. HOpe you can move on soon to a great new love! andrea
