Give the last touches when I asleep

When I open my eyes

I feel,, just in night, I hear the soft voice of you

You are the sunlight in my day

You are the one that makes trouble be gone

Figurative Language:

A paradox is an apparent contradiction that is nevertheles somehow true and also it may be either a situation or a statement.

1.      Paradox

The moon brighter to overcast my eyes

to keep me in dark of night

in that line there is a contracdictory between brighter and overcast. It just reveals of imagination of the writer that something brighter is contradict with overcast.

2.      Dramatic irony

the discrepancy is not between what the speaker says and what speaker means but it is between what the speaker says and what the poem means.

I take the the example of dramatic irony from our poem in memory of you, that my friend told you before, our poem described about tragedy in past time, the memory of person who loved her mother and now its become the sweet memories because she was pass away.

The forehead kisses

Give the last touches when I asleep

The wind brings her soul in far away

I was alone to keep my sweet memories

Clotted longging through your shedow

3.      Situational irony

Situational irony is a style employed when the author creates a situation and leads the reader to believe that a certain ending is expected, when the actual ending is completely in contrast.

In this part there’s an irony refers to the contrast between what is expected and what actually occurs. Those describe the happiness inside the sadness of in memory of you, because in first stanza was described about the happiness of child who in every night in every day mother always present to give the smooth love but it is not in long time.

You are the sunlight in my day

You are the one that makes trouble be gone

You are the words inside my song

You are the eyes that help me to see

She wes there,,

The wind brings her soul in far away

I was alone to keep my sweet memories

Clotted longging through your shedow

4.      Verbal irony

Verbal irony as the figurative language of irony which often use in daily languge. Verbal irony it means that people say something which contradicts with what they  imply, for the example of verbal irony i thke from song by pink, the tittle
