If Looks Could Kill

The future flames
in front of me
fomenting shames
of what I’ll be
if I don’t change
So I exchange
the tie I’ll buy

Unintentions

I circled back
to take the front
so your attack
would seem as blunt
You mean no harm
but lacking charm
you sound unbound

Out of the blue
she asked of me
Can I call you
I said we’ll see
I’d like to know
one thing first though
Just who are you
