Analysis of A Man



Love, what is love?
It seems I don't know,
The sun gives way to the city's light show.
Light's I've seen before blinking open, open,
Makes you wonder what's behind the door.
Yet silently I'm hopeing kicking rocks across the cement floor.
Across the street a woman has eyes for me.
“Looking for a good time” she says.
I keep walking pretending not to see.
I loathe the path that lay before me,
Yet every step takes me closer to my mental escape .
