When a dove is shot in the sky, his white wings will magically turn red,

When you shot me straight in my tainted heart was the day that I internally bled.

When we started holding hands, you promised that we would experience perpetual bliss,

But when I dream at night, true happiness looks nothing at all like this.

I wish I could push fast forward, I wish I could push rewind,

I wish we could be together forever, I wish I could erase you out of my mind.

I grabbed all the lies that were hibernating on the tip of my tongue and planted them into our corrupted garden until they grew,

I handpicked every word out and noticed that these lies were everything that I've ever said to you.



The confusion that you hail down on me deprives me of my sight,

The thunderstorms in the distance are merely the epitome of how much I hate you tonight.

Silly of me to ever think that our hollow hearts would intertwine,

I look in the broken mirror and see a smile on my face for the very last time.



...Now I'm falling to my fatality like the red winged dove,

Shot down from cloud nine where we used to lay peacefully above.

Blood on my wings, a hole in my heart,

Our wicked war has tragically torn my world apart...



When a dove can no longer fly, blood will stain his wings and his eyes will fill with tear after tear,

When you can no longer lie is the day that you won't whisper "I love you" into my ear.

When we started igniting each other's flame, you promised that your love for me would never fade,

But when I look at you all I see is gray, and when I held your once red heart, I witnessed blue in its darkest shade.

I wish tomorrow were today…I wish I could turn back time,

I wish I never met you…I wish you were always mine.

I gathered all the letters that you wrote me and placed each one in a fractured frame,

I read each one aloud and couldn't help but cry an ocean of acid tears when I read between the lines and saw the painful lies that you proudly wrote above your signature and name.









The bitter animosity that you shower me with washes my feelings for you away,

The gunshots and screams in the distance are simply the epitome of how much I hate you today.

Foolish of me to ever imagine that our opaque souls would perfectly combine,

I stare out of the shattered window and see the sun disappear beneath the horizon for a final time.



...Now my heart bleeds to death like the red winged dove,

Praying for liberation and a sign of hope from up above.

Blood on my cage, locks on my heart,

Someone please release this jailbird and bring him back to the start...



Now I'm letting go of everything and everyone I used to love,

I'll spread my wings toward the future like the white peace dove.

Stitches on my wings, a Band-Aid on my heart,

The pain and suffering that you put me through earned me a Purple Heart.
