When doves cry...

Prince's song has inspired me to write a few lines to what i think what its like when doves cry...

when the fight's all gone out of you...
when all that remains are ashes and feathers of the dance of life

when the cry of an innocent embeds itself in your soul
you cry, you laugh, both at the same time, knowing no one can hear you
wishing that someone would

when you watch yourself in the mirror as you cry
amused at how distorted your face can look

when dreams change or when you have no more
no wish to dream anymore
no new paths to create

melancholy sets in
creativity dies
desires melt away

distant dreams remain so
life is nowhere close to what you imagined it would be

what's happening to me?
am i dying a new death?
living a new life?

is this how it is when doves cry?
