a glass rhyme to pass time

I watch you, watching me, from behind the glass.
I know you are thinking a spirited thought or rhyme.
Sure that neither will let this flirtation pass,
I sit poised and perched on a seat's edge ticking time.

Shutter and flinch as my words explode like glass.
Neither love, nor beast will bring about a sweet rhyme.
In adoration, it is simple to revoke a lover's pass.
I will run and hide from you for all my remaining time.
