Analysis of "White dove"
Wendy Mitchell 1981
As the pain holds dear to my heart of hurt and sadness in my soul I think of you the way you used to be
The way we kissed the way we was befor you became a living hell in my heart of tears
My pain won't stop my heart won't cry no more tears for you
My life now is full of fear what going to happen nextdoor again
I feel lost hurt under a fear of fear lonely of tears that never fall no no never fall of fear in my soul
Please take me outta this hell in my mind of hate I can't be cured
I fear of my life as I sleep in my bed I keep a knife next pillow as I sleep afraid of the man who hurt me and others who want to hunt me down like a dog please don't hurt me no more I beg of you my mind keeps wondering if they will come again we wish you should have died but she lived they are cursed until dooms day end
