Analysis of Angela



The life we had,
These seeds you've sewn,
Since the day you left they're all I've known.

I've grown, I have, I promise dear
But still I feel you ever near
Its not so clear, it's never clear
My feelings made of everclear

And knowing you, you're standing strong,
You're scared, I know, don't get me wrong
But you, you found a life anew
A life no longer me and you.

Now in this chair I sit and stare,
A chasm in my heart, I dare
To look ahead to things anew
To things no longer me and you.
