Analysis of I'm going
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
He knew.
He made his demands.
"You'll get the same as everybody else."
He threw.
He knew.
His spirit couldn't stand in his weakness too.
"I can't live with you." He decreed.
I knew.
His eyes closed too long.
He wasn't going to pull through.
It wasn't my last home.
Not yet. They shewed and fell over my life.
The black sheep.
I still weep.
But I didn't need.
Not anymore.
Too much water.
The bridge already broken.
