Analysis of Please Return to Me
Of simple dreams
For you I wait
A sad torn heart
That's bound in fate.
When nights are cold
I wonder true
The sky looks red
And never blue.
A burning touch
In dreams I wait
Your fiery light
Always my bait.
And some of truth
There is no end
In silence wait
I'll not defend.
A taken piece
Of life untold
A perfect heart
That's not that bold.
