Analysis of Gone

Salma Guerra 2002 (Eagle Pass, Tx)



When I open my eyes I see the ghost of you
As the winds blows, your image blurs out
Your voice rings out in my ears saying
Everything feels so cold
I feel sold and old
When you're gone

My love is gone
My love for you is gone
I'm feeling so lone
When you're gone
Now you're dead and gone
