aw really?
she tried to cut in line getting grocery
& I sent her back pointing the way
now she sees me as an angry man
being easier to see passion
in another that way
especially this dark stranger
suposin’ just supposin’ I say
the anger you’re feeling
is yours n yours alone
passing off your projections
on a lost man on his own?
I see the sneer start to grow
suposin’ just supposin’ I say
I see in you a lost love
somebody stopped you
from being who you wanted to be
& you feel somethin’ here
reminds him of me?
I’m not that kind of guy
so if you will kindly
as I know you are a good person
I’ll just be passing on by
& I saw the look on her face
the beginning of aw really
maybe this guy gets me
but I’d passed by then
into the long shadows
nobody needing this dark preacher
off to find a better storm
