One Small Black Dove

Folder: 
really old stuff

I kiss my heart goodbye

And I hide it’s dusty jar

I will never wish again

On only one lonely star



One more boy

One less hope

I know that now

I’ll learn to cope



I never knew that you laughed at me

Behind my dream filled eyes

But now they’re uncovered and I see

That I believed all the lies



But now I know

I’ll never be brand new

Because of all those lonely nights

That I only thought of you



It takes talent

To lie with your eyes

Now I believe

That your heart is made of knives



I prayed every night

That you would be mine

But then I changed

And I’ll be fine



You always made it clear

That you were too good for me

And as I look in the mirror

I see all that I can be



I wipe my eyes

For the last time

Even God cries

When things aren’t fine



Angels dream of heaven

Like I dream of love

But my fantasy consists of

One small black dove



*doves signify hope*
