Lovely Dove

I push and shove because you’re the only one I wanna love/ Out of all the birds in the sky above you’re my only lovely dove/ I don’t want to get high I just want you next to me we’ll fly/ I never want you to cry I just never want our relationship to run dry/ This kind of effort and care you can’t buy/ I can’t take one more lie as trust is the only way we’ll thrive/ So alive I am to provide for our tribe and for us to strive/ Had a horrific drive but God let me slide by to survive/ No longer out to connive and deprive/ Hopes to derive the best for our lives in my eye/ Focus on the prize to utilize and sanitize strife/ I’m sorry sometimes my words slice like a knife/ My head’s not right with some slights I’ve had in my life/ There’s a different spice I’ve revised with old throws of dice/ Less iced I’ve learned to become more accepting and nice/ It’s the right price if you heard my advice/ I never want to hold you down like a vice or grip too tight/ Just need you to walk with me through the night more into the light
