Analysis of Lost
She lost her find and now she's sad
She lost her mind
and now she's mad
He lost his fight and now he's meek
He lost his might
and now he's weak
She lost her smile and now she's lown
She lost her style
and now she's down
He lost his flair and now he's auld
He lost his hair
and now he's bald
She lost her touch and now she's numb
She lost her crutch
and now she's dumb
He lost his wife and now he's wan
He lost his life
and now he's gone
