A Night Walk With a Killer

one night i was walking down the street 
in the pitch dark as i was smoking a blunt
i sense something so real that i can not 
determine what it is that i sense within or 
without one judged motive as i keep walking
a feeling of destortment comes to for what
i dont know,but one authority envolves love is tuging
at my heart i faintly realize what it could be as i walk to the 
Downtowner Congregent housing complex at about 3or4am
it seems to be a glimpse that a women standing at the door
wanting something from me money,food,sex,a place to stay
for the night and i'm wondering what does she want with me 
with profound gestures of no remorse as ealier that day i told 
someone about an old aquaintance how is it to be that when
i was trying to sleep i hear JOSH! JOSH! JOSH! I didn't know 
what to do but stay in doors as my lady friend turns in bed
i just start thinking like what the hell am i going to do about 
something i don't know how to rekon with unless the truth 
comes to be like i said only God can put a person in heaven 
or hell not no man can as i walk in the night as a killer is trying
to make or break me which i believe is not going to be after 
a long walk in the night
