Analysis of Change of life



Change of Life
My life has lately taken a divergent path,
    I have taken a fresh road,
        far from the impassioned wanders of my youth.

Today I look for the truth,
    not the sated feeling,
        which once sent my senses reeling.

I paid the cost,
    with many years lost,
        for my pander locked in amber.
