Analysis of I Was Serious
It is obvious
Once I was serious
To hold you in my arms
For becoming glorious
You can't imagine that
How much I was curious
To breathe, with breathing of you
To feel, as victorious
Alas, oh, stranger
My way was precarious
However, you still live in my heart
Even though feelings are injurious
It is obvious
Once I was serious
And within fastidious.
