Shapeshifter
My shapeshifter
good and bad
they never see
the one you are
when we're alone
when you act out
abuse that flows
from your mouth
from your hands
from every part
later saying
you're very sad
never again
please make it so
this is a lie
to appease
your sense of guilt
to placate me
so I'll play along
to the outside world
never seeing
the hell within
never feeling
the pain I am
never knowing
your evil ways
always wishing
rainbow skies
when midnight shines
in your eyes
that ask me please
to hold my tongue
to save you now
when demons taunt
my weakness spurned
by who you are
to be no more
would be a gift
to escape you beast
to make my peace
to end it all
to find the way
beyond the pain
where others live
where God exists
others save
the fresh meat
you consume
the ones like you
I'm alone
against the wall
my shapeshifter
I'll end it all.
