A dove descends from deep in my heart,
Never to see this world fall apart.
Leaving me here vulnerable and weak,
As I watched the blood of my scars streak.

That dove was my one and only way out,
And now that its gone, I live with all doubt.
Of ever, ever, leaving this place.
Of ever, ever, feeling safe.

It soars as my demons eat me whole,
Taking with it, my chance of a home.
A chance to be loved,
A chance to be free,
A chance to escape the cruel reality.

Of the less than perfect life I live,
Of the less than perfect love I give.

I sit here, knowing my problems won't shrink.
But in the midst of it all, I cant help but think.

That its true I hate that dove like no other,
But I wish it wouldn't fly away any farther.
