Coveting and Regretting Soon After

Your trait TBH --
Narcissism behavior
Hatred...that's BS

Personality
Matters to me as well as
Character so pure

Your motives, so bad

Tune in strange mind and young heart
Easy to forget...

Face which mirrors smug confidence
     as she claims his place

Trembling Hands, Coveting Mind

One man able to do a bad stuff
toss the coin, the side that is with a flaw
gets the hand to be tied in a cuff
to stop the bad wine to pour more and more
the red sign from this lad now goes off
deed not dead, open is this cruel door
‘mend your ways’ from the law but
