Analysis of Sixth Sense
I want to scream out loud
I want to be held
I want a kiss goodnight
I want so many things
I used to get before
I want, I want...
just a little something
to make me feel loved again
to make me feel wanted again
For lately, I have felt
nothing but the frigidity
of being frozen out of your love
nothing but coldness
There is something amiss about you
That even those arms
no longer enrap me
That even those lips
No longer kiss me
And all point to a sense
That something is terribly wrong
That something is amiss
And I cannot fathom this mysterious ailment
That has surrounded our family
There is a modicum of suspicions
But I dare not open
Pandora's box
And see my soul
Laid bare within!
