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
