Analysis of You Were My Only Human
The whole world is a swirling ocean; while you were my comforting shore,
The whole world is the hostile island of sun; while you were my brilliant rays,
The whole world is an uncivilized jungle; while you were my majestically roaring lion,
The whole world is a treacherous mountain; while you were my towering peak,
The whole world is a colossal patch of barren sky; while you were my rain bearing cloud,
The whole world is a pugnacious battlefield; while you were my cherished victory,
The whole world is a garden with wild weeds; while you were my perennially blossoming rose,
The whole world is a rampantly spread beehive; while you were my delectable and sweet nectar,
The whole world is gargantuan ship; while you were my valiant captain,
The whole world is a lifeless body on the verge of dying; while you were my precious and passionate breath,
The whole world is volumes of books embedded with boring literature; while
you were the line that evolved my creativity,
The whole world is an enigmatic puzzle; while you were my 100% solution,
The whole world is a river of gloomy tears; while you were my everlasting smile,
The whole world is perpetually blind; while you were my mesmerizing vision,
The whole world is a violent abuse; while you were my stupendously enchanting
song,
The whole world is an arid desert; while you were my sweet spring of bubbling water,
The whole world is licentious desire; while you were my sacrosanct mosque,
The whole world is crisp notes of pretentious currency; while you were my checkbook,
The whole world is a cannibalistic vulture; while you were my royal and princely feather,
The whole world is a stubborn lock; while you were my dainty and intricate key,
The whole world is a devastating infection; while you were my immortal source of potent medication,
And the whole world is a blood sucking leech; while you were my only human.
