The two texts that I have analysed are "there's no understanding what you did" which is a poem by Gabrielle Faure and the lyrics to "Religious Love" by R. Kelly.

The topic that we are studying is loss. These two texts are both about loss and the harm and suffering of losing someone very close but show very different views and emotions about the same topic.

While the song by R. Kelly shows the love he has for this special person and passion to be with her even though she is not alive. He describes it as 'religious love'. It does not tell of the cause of death as the poem does, it focuses mainly on the relationship between the two of them. Though R. Kelly still expresses her as if she were alive.
