Dove

The dove is a symbol of purity and beauty
She thinks he is mocking her…
She is not pure or beautiful
Her purity stolen
Her beauty sliced away
Yet he still calls her dove
Sees her scars 
Knows her past 
and still calls her beautiful
Maybe one day she will be able to look and 
see herself as pure again 
beautiful despite her scars 
despite her past
Maybe one day she will see 
that she can be his dove.
