When I look at Lord Byron’s poem “When We Two Parted” I noticed it to be very similar to one of my favorite musical artist’s songs “What Goes Around (Comes Around)” by Justin Timberlake. In both the song and the poem, the main idea is losing somebody and really feeling the heartache. They both didn’t see the split coming, and were very in love with this person before the relationship ended. Now they both feel very lonely and still long for the person they lost. It also seems that they both were betrayed by their loved one, and are looking back on it now realizing they probably should have seen this coming.

The only difference I see between these two is that in Timberlake’s song he feels more vengeful and that she is going to get what she deserves in the end. Whereas Lord Byron’s poem focuses more on his loneliness now and almost depression that he feels after losing that person. This is what I think, but hers the lyrics to “What Goes Around” and the lines to “When We Two Parted” and I’ll let you decide for yourself.
