Rhyme scheme is ABBA ACCA DEED FF.

This album sold over 15 million copies in its first 28 weeks. This album wasn ’t just a reboot of her previous style‚ she has put more of a personal feel in it‚ rather than just preforming.

    Sir Thomas Wyatt’s They flee from me tells a short story of man seduced by a woman that felt so good in the beginning‚ yet became so deceivingly dissatisfying in the end.
