The Bloke A Few Doors Down

The bloke a few doors down he seems so serious
If he did smile perhaps his face might crack
I've waved to him a couple of times in passing
But he ignored me he did not wave back.

The bloke a few doors down by sight just know me
And he is one I can't profess to know
Perhaps I have harmed him in a past lifetime
A century or even two ago.

Perhaps his subconscious to him keeps saying
Ignore that fellow he once did you harm
The neighbourhood would be better without him
And for your mates save all your warmth and charm.

The bloke a few doors down to me a stranger
I do not greet him now and say hello,
I greeted him a few times I remember
But to me he seemed cold as cold as snow.

The bloke a few doors down he is my neighbour
But sad to think that he does not feel that way
Perhaps in some past lifetime I have wronged him
In another body in a distant day.
