Why Do Doves Cry

by ebox190

On my way home
Call to your phone 
I feel so alone
Begin do the weeps and moans

As I let out a sigh
A bird passes by
With a tear in its eye
I ask the question
Why do doves cry

The bird stares at me
I stare back
Getting mad
Screaming
Don't know how to act

Run down the street 
Darkness at my feet
As pain starts to creep
Can't succumb to this defeat

The bird by my side
Tears still in its eyes
I ask it again 
Why do doves cry

Question unanswered
Going down the alley
To my soul it panders
A place to avoid slander

Death comes for all
Now he comes for me
With a shot to the temple
That none will ever see

Ask the bird again
Why do doves 
Like it knows or cares 
But it just stares

Struck by a light
Ready to fight
Vision no longer blurred 
Now just me and the bird

Close it comes to my heart
Disappear do my fears 
No longer do I feel as if
The end is near

Why do doves cry
Because despite all that we try
The innocent ones
Still are likely to die
