Analysis of Lonely
LONELY,
By Joseph Otero-Shafer
You see, I am lonely.
I don't feel so homely.
My heart has been broken,
And left with a small token.
I know it hurts a lot.
Small love is all I've got.
My heart is almost stone,
Or an unbreakable-bone.
I have found someone new.
I don't know what to do.
I won't hurt her at all,
And she's not that tall.
Nothing bad about that.
At least, she is not fat.
She's kind, she's got glasses.
She's almost the same height.
Thank gosh she does not bite!
