My Dove Flew Away

I once had a treasure and now
All I have is an empty chest
The rubies and gold have been stolen
My heart is now an empty nest

My dove has flown away with a crow
His craw took her away
Her golden heart she once had
Has now turned into dust

I will still fly south for the winter
Keeping my heart warm
For tomorrow is another day
I will find myself a new dove

Creating a new love
