Repetition shows his absolute desperation

Speaker knows that there is no outcome where he will reign and succeed in what he is trying to do. He is chasing hopeless aims despite his futile efforts.

Speaker wants to give up trying to fix his broken and unrepairable relationship

This phrase describe the speaker’s significant other. She is representing the “Needle and the thread”. Being the needle, she constantly pricks the speaker and makes him wounded and in pain during the relationship. However, she also being the thread, she patches him up with the occasional love and affection she shows him. This shows that she is two-faced.

Gives me the visual imagery of the speaker fighting a battle against his countless problems, him having the confidence that he can fight through it all and emerge out of the battle wounded but still breathing.

Gives the visual imagery of violence, pain and bloodshed.

Speaker is vengeful and wants to be cold hearted and selfish to his significant other, just like how she did those things to him.

The speaker's significant other is being portrayed as a selfish and dwells only on her problems and anger, not taking a moment to listen to he speaker's troubles.

Speaker is numb to the pain his significant other has caused him. Speaker is content with just the presence of her around him

Repetition shows emphasis on the fact that the speaker is wounded and needs to be healed by his significant other's presence and love.

Shows immense signs of desperations. Speaker implies that he cannot live without her and needs her by his side as emotional support for him to carry himself.

Shows that speaker underestimated level of pain that he had experienced, foreshadowing worse and more grueling pain yet to come

Connotes the speaker crumbing and entering into a difficult phase

Simile. I can see from this phrase that the speaker was blinded by love. He was head over heels for his love that he had lost awareness and his sense of surroundings and danger.

Going back to the point where love is blind, this shows that the speaker cannot act straight after falling deeply in love with his significant other.

"stitches" is used to patch an open wound. The speaker has an open wound that is hurting and needs "stitches" to patch him up, healing him from the grief and the pain experienced from his relationship.

Shows weakness. Exhausted from how he had to toil to make the relationship work out.

From this phrase, I can infer that the speaker's significant other has no mercy or remorse for him. She just watches him suffer and does not do anything to help, showing that the love for him was never there in the first place.

Personification. "words" is given a human expression of cutting. Cutting symbolizes violence and pain.

The speaker says this with remorse as the loved houses were on a grander scale of love than her mother’s watch, thus making the art of losing easy to master for the speaker.

This phrase shows the sensitivity of how the speaker had lost something close to her.

The diction of the word “disaster” resonates mass destruction. This phrase shows me that destruction will not be caused and safety is ensured.

The repetition of the phrase shows the emphasis on how losing something or someone is easy and doesn’t require a lot fo effort or skill.

“lost door keys” shows that the writer had many paths and opportunities in the past, now all of the entrances faded away with no return to them. “the hour badly spent” shows how much time was wasted on menial things. Resonates the theme of regret.

Due to previous experiences of the pain of loss, the speaker is not affected, immune to loss.

Mastering an “art” takes a long period of time and skill. However, “isn’t hard to master” shows me that everyone is naturally talented at it. No need for practice of any sort.

Diction of the word “losing”. Resonates pain and grief. “art” is something that takes a long period of time and skill to master.
