Analysis of ALL ALONE



I I me me mine
That's all I find,
You were no good though,
You acted so refined.

You touched me, woman
Touched my very soul,
Left a flame burning
Right out of control.
Love was so very sweet
For so brief a while,
So now I have to dream
Of those better times.

Now I'm all alone
As night descends,
My aching, broken heart
Will surely never mend.
Love just isn't like
Those silly fairy tales,
Hearts get torn and shattered
When the loving fails.

THE END
