A Man I Talked To

I talked to a man He gave me advice He told me to see where I stand I was more than confused

I talked to this man again He tried to be nice He told me he needed to see where he stands He seemed only slightly amused

I saw this man today I approached him, reflecting on his advice He appeared a sick grey Although I had begun to start anew

This man has reached new lows I’ve made it to the point of accepted lies When he loses his mind, I wonder where he goes His skin is starting to turn blue

This man has come to talk to me He asks me for advice I asked him if he could see He did not realize what I now knew

This man tells me he loves me He’s lost himself nearly twice He asked me if I knew who he could be I told him I knew his love was true

I’ll never talk to this man again I wonder if it could have been alright If I had spared a hand to lend If I honestly knew
