Analysis of Forgotten
At times in my life, when I am feeling distressed,
To find my wounds and I cry to the moon,lying
undressed looking like a big mess crying over
the pain that one gave and left me feeling blue
why I am reaching to the moon,
I can feel the marks you left on me and the cuts
you gave me , you left me to all your pains why
you go playing around like a big old clown ,
At times in my life when I do tire to do my
very best , You come around to bring
me down just like you ,Whose company
I don't admire?
I search in vain for true love to make way,
If not that, just a shoulder to cry on someone
To say everything is going to be ok,
At times in life it's so hard to face another day,
whom do I blame? When fate plays a nasty game.
At times in life, when everything's good, I look back
at you and I when things was looking good,
How you once made me feel I'm enjoying good wine
and delicious food. Just when I have, forgotten to cry,
At times in life, when I'm trudging along, With no one
to whom I can belong;
I need nothing, but love that's true, Which is why I am,
in search of you!
