walk


he walked the dark dangerous streets
till he knew not far from near
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till strangers looked familiar
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till the roads started looking the same
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till muggers knew him by his name
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till his breath begged him to stop
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till his legs threatened to drop
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till the dogs gave up their chase
he walked the dark dangerous streets
till the sun showed him its face
he walked the dark dangerous streets
not because he loved to roam
he walked the dark dangerous streets
because he didn’t want to go home.
