MOURNING DOVE , MOURNING DOVE , do you remember what you mourn ? do you remember why you mourn ?
do you remember who's sorrow you hold ?

empathy is overwhelming . it makes the ichor in your veins run cold , and the pearly tears that prick your eyes leave burning trails down flushed cheeks .

MOURNING DOVE , MOURNING DOVE , to feel for others , and mourn in their place . this is your burden , the reason you were created .
