Hymn of the heart
The song my soul never seeked.
Is a dove's whistle,
The sign of peace,
Because I know there's not.
I do not know of a happy ending,
I was raised in flames,
A burning home made to crumble,
The only peace I had was a page.
The dove never whistled,
The peace never came.
Many poets try to describe a broken home,
But I was born in a rotten wood house,
With no hope and no way to escape.
All I needed was some hope,
That everything would be okay,
But my inner peace never came.
It was only a whistle away.
So now I must say,
Where was my dove's song?
And why can't I escape the peace that never came?
