Black, Dead Dove

You hide behind a mask of "love"
With a hug & kiss that seems so real.
So were these rumors that they said,
A big huge deal, written in red?

So if these things said in secret
Were bigger than they ever seemed
What is there worth keeping
What is there with you and me

Are these smiles you beam at me
The longing glances you throw at me
Are these signs of real true love
Or just another black dead dove

Love can be real, but don't be led on. Find a way to prove the truth.

Oh my gosh! I totally agree with the original part! It was so cool & it gave me goosebumps! I like poems with a kind of cold twist, and this was the bomb!
