Died for Love
Belkis Martinez 1973 (Pennsylvania)
In the park, where I dwell.
I met a guy I loved so well,
He took my heart away from me,
Now he's gone and set me free.
One day he sat a girl on his knees
He told her things he never told me.
Now I know the reason why,
She was prettier than I.
I ran back home I cried in bed,
Not a word to mother was said.
Father came late that night,
He searched for me from left to right.
He reached my room and opened the door
He saw me hanging from a cord.
He looked for something to cut me down
And on my dresser this note was found...
Sorry dad for what I've done,
I once knew love but now is gone.
On my casket place a dove,
To show the world I died for love
