Shoeless

Choo Choo shoeless one arrives
Running late at half past five
All enamored with the charm
Sweetest smile will disarm

Bent the Word aligned with ICE
Makes it nice to reconcile
Not a place to sit alone
Freaking out don’t spend awhile

Flashing signs ignored by all
Swift the dusky smirk befalls
Soon the person lost inside
Insidious amour taken for a ride

Paid with time, too late to fall
Risk it all for winds desire
Shut it down and walk away
The better place to ride is just around the bend
