DYING FOR LOVE
In this deep, dark pit I dwell
And black as the pit is the tale that I'll tell
There once was a boy I loved too much
I longed for his look, his voice, his touch
They said a strange girl he was with
And though I thought her just a myth
I soon learned she was real because
He was heartless, yes he was
So I ran straight home, up to my bed
Not one word to mother was said
When father came home late that night
He searched for me both left and right
My bedroom door he hit and broke
And found me hanging from a rope
He said my dear what have you done
Taken your life for one man's son
He found this note upon my desk
Read what it said and quickly left
"Dig a grave and dig it deep ..
Place white marble from head to feet. ..
And at the headstone place a dove..
Let the whole world know ..
I died for love."
