angle

you are the stranger 
I wanted to know 
hiding in the shadow 
working your angle
an unseen danger 
to my heart 
but the real you
I still haven't met 

the words I hear 
sweet like honey
thick and vague 
watching what you say 
nothing is conveyed
in all that you do
no one sees
into an opaque you 

protection from all
a feeling arranger 
keeper of the key 
that locks the door
nothing set me free
from any part of you 
you weren't in danger 
of falling in love
