Analysis of To Love
Donwan 1970 (New Jersey)
IT SEEMS SO HARD AS YEARS GO BY,
THERE IS NOTHING BUTEMPTINESS, AND NOTHING TO FILL THE VOID.
IS THERE SOMETHING IMCOMPLETE?
WILL U EVER KNOW, I THINK NOT, CAUSE NOT EVEN THE PSYCHIC KNOWS.
FOR ONLY IF I KNEW WHAT MUST FILL THIS EMPTY VOID,
BECAUSE THE MAN UPSTAIRS ALREADY KNOWS.
