Analysis of Before I go

Irena Horodynska 1971 (Zlotoryja)



How you dare to invade my life?
How you dare to disturb my peace?
How you enter my house like a theft at night,
And conquered me?

If you decide to never return,
Leave me rather alone in vain.
Let me live my lonely life,
Before I go insane.
