A Bloodstained Dove

Don’t look up
And say your prayers
I’m taking your life
Though I used to care

The pain’s begun
Daggers in my heart
From the people I’ve loved
And the murders I start

I’m horrified
By the blood on my hands
And I wish that I
Didn’t understand

Why some people die
While others live
But I’ve seen it through joy
And the pain that you give

You took me in
And showed me love
Then left me torn and tainted
Like a bloodstained dove

And the one thing that I
Wish that I had then known
Is the difference ‘tween love
And the lie you had shown
