Backstreet ways

Crowded dorways

The darkness scares you

Do you dare to look into those eyes

Their kindness must disguise

Ulterior motives

Will you ever know if the shadow's that

Follow are only yours

Don't look behind

Keep your eyes on the road

Trust yourself

But none else

My friend

Extend a hand

But beware

Of the ones that bite



Synonymous with the anonymous

No one knows you

When you know no one

The life you lead is one of solitaire

Samaritans run the streets

And yet to me they seem ever empty
