Analysis of Forever Lost
I tried and tried to tell you,
but I was lost in mixed emotion
I tried to not offend your spirit,
as I wandered looking for a home
I tried to make you understand,
the hard edges would soon come off
But in the morning your fear returned
—our love forever lost
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
