Void

Our world is one void of love;
There's only ever been self-profit.
Do you know what it's like to be the dove?
The only one that's here to love it.

I've tried so hard to show this world,
That love is pure and true.
That it is so beautifully pearled.
But all I've ever heard it "Boo".

A dim light in an ocean of despair,
This has been my journey.
Forever begging in prayer,
Forever love's attorney.

Those who understand will always fall.
Those who throw it aside, rise above.
This is the world, I've heard its call,
This is a world void of love.
