Analysis of The turning heart
Forget about me leave me to be, I deserve what I get it’s plain to see
If ever I thought I deserved anything more, I only need to look at those I adore
Giving my heart to love in the end, only to you lose again and again
The pain underneath try to hide what I can
My greatest fear that lonely old man
Grow cold my heart I wish you would. I don’t deserve any good
Give me more pain I can handle it all
Cold dead heart push away push away, Stay in the dark and hide from the day

About this poem
Wanting love. Feeling the loss of love. Taking on undue pain. Consumed by hopelessness.
