Analysis of While Lonely You're Not Alone
There's a rollercoaster ride in both gain and loss.
While lonely you're not alone
in both hold and toss.
There's an energetic state in both love and hate.
While lonely you're not alone
in both hope and fate.
There's a histrionic play in both show and act.
While lonely you're not alone
in both sham and fact.
There's an enigmatic set in both faith and zeal.
While lonely you're not alone
in both truth and feel.
There's an acrobatic pose in both shape and bend.
While lonely you're not alone
in both mix and blend.
There's an embryonic start in both aim and goal.
While lonely you're not alone
in both heart and soul.
