ShapeShifter
You shift so effortlessly
from human to reptilian.
When I first met you,
my heart pounded.
Your figure rocked so gently,
like a model, you walked,
smoothly through the room,
taking blood and swabbing cheeks.
I’ll admit your touch was calming…
But then you shifted back to what you are…
Your brown skin, scaled up like emeralds.
Your nails curled like claws.
Your pupils slit like cat’s.
You tongue…
I’d be lying if I said I hated it,
But knowing you as something else,
changing like you did,
set me on edge…
Made me fearful for my life.
Reality failed me, and my mind couldn’t recover…
And now you’re gone… I’ll never have you back.

PURPLE DEMON
I’m the one that tells you not to let go.
You never know when you’ll need that thing that blocks your flow.
You can’t imagine what life would be like if you didn’t have that.
And if you lose it, your life would be over, do you have to ask?
I’m the one that keeps your grip strong.
Your fingers wrap around what, to you, belongs.
Your mind wraps around and squeezes like a catchy song,
and your heart can’t let go, so it can’t be wrong.
Just gather up your stuff, you can take it with you.
I’m the one that keeps your fists tight, that’s your one clue!
Who am I?

INDIGO DEMON
I’m the one that tells you what you want to hear.
Like my boy BLUE, rationalism makes it all too clear.
Green was right when he told about the loss of life.
Never love and you can avoid the pain of that lovely knife.
The twins are rough, but the what they said is the deepest truth:
Your past you, and you can never escape the living prove.
Reality it’s about taking things into perspective.
If you enjoy it, just do it should be your final elective.
You are you, and you should do whatever you love.
I am the one who calms your mind with comforts from above.
Who am I?
