"You will never fulfill your dream
If you do not finish that book."
I'm tired. I'll work on it more tomorrow.
"What if tomorrow never comes?
Then what?
Do you want the title to become:
'Hank Love's unfinished works'?"

Of course not, but I can't necessarily
Writeif nothing comes to mind.
"That's because you gave up
While you were ahead.
You thought you had
All the time in the world to do it in.
But today's words
Will be tomorrow's reminder."

There's a bench in a park
That I know so well.
And on that bench is a man,
Taking his last few breaths.
Passerby's stop to look at the man,
And feel pity for him,
Yet do not send for an ambulance.
He is wearing clothes
That are not his own.
"God help my poor soul," he cries
On that cruel October night.
And this man,
Whom I've never met before,
Shares with me a kindred spirit
That I have not felt more.
And this place, I only know in dreams,
And his time, was long before mine.
Farewell to the late Mister Poe
And to the dreams you left behind.

Shes looking out the window of her
Two bedroom apartment
Looking down at all
The different faces below
She had a change of heart
And moved into the city
Trying to find the love
She never found at home

But now she's living
A hundred miles an hour it seems
Putting food on the table
And trying to live her dreams

So this is a song for you
From the man across the hall
You never really know
Who you have behind you
Until you've taken the fall

Does it ever get lonely
When you're living for the moment
Does it drive you mad
When you think its only you

I'm always home and I hear
When your tears are flowing
Come and knock on my door
And see things from a different point of view

This great world
Has so many different turns
You've got to cross your bridges
Before they all get burned

So this is a song for you
From the man across the hall
You never really know
Who you have behind you
Until you've taken the fall

I want to see the world
As the world sought me out to be-
A monster. A villian.
The unethical and absurd lies
Have made me what I am.
While they were in reckoning
With something they were
Yet to understand
And lived in utter horror  
Of the monster they created.

Butterflies can't see their beautiful wings. Maybe you're the butterfly.

Never be ashamed of your past.
Your pain may be the key
To someone else’s cell.
Hank Love Nov 2020
I'm only able to see the world through one eye,

And yet I see more beauty in it than those who see out of two.
