Analysis of Love Among Me



Move Among Me

Casting my gaze towards the sky
My broken heart tries to reason why
Instead of asking how
To respond to here and now
I fall to my knees and cry.

The best plans are all laid down
Fallen apart all over the ground
Everything I ever owned
Wiped out a life and a home
The life I imagined now is gone.

Move among me and see sadness
Gripping grief and utter madness
Happiness is fading fast
Smiling through just can’t last
Smoldering ashes of pure gladness.

I dare to defy this impending doom
My demise no one can assume
I am a fighter you see
Choosing to get up and be
Destined for joy in full bloom.
