Analysis of Lonely Little Me

E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)

Lost a friend i never found
Only one to be around
Night and day you seem to be
Ever sooner leaving me
Losing touch and the will
You take it all with aims to kill

Lurking round in the shadows
Infecting those you can
Trespassing over love and life
Toxic to all man
Lonliness infects us all
Especially the kind

Myself i am a lonely girl
Entrapped in my own mind

This is also the reason for so much rhyming; though not necessary for poetry, it was part of what made poetry therapeutic for her and so is an almost certain constant. more…
