Love Poem: When Doves Cry

When Doves Cry

You were there
when my world came crashing down 
and life was but a series of 
gasps and chokes 
ugly tears and snot smeared faces 
you gave reason to my whys 
and when there was none
you gave rhyme 
but where are you now? 
how will I find you?
I cannot reach you
touch you 
call out
the doves - they mock me
their cries, a reminder 
of my love
hijacked
stolen
stabbed 
and slaughtered
while I’m left
Alone
to build a world without you.
