Death of a Dove

Am I in love?

How am i to know

She is my dove

Purer than snow

Sent from above

Not long ago

With push and shove

Her tears overflow



I wish I could be better

I’d give her my life

I hate to upset her

Id make her my wife

I go back where I met her

Along my thigh, a knife

I shall never forget her

As I end her life



I could not recover

The controversy of mind

I cry above her

The tears make me blind

But will I ever discover

The answer of mine

Did I love her?

this I will never find
