Shapeshifting by David Fingret published on 2023-10-26T21:55:31Z I saw her standing in the parking lot a dark-haired lady, easily bought As I approached her, I knew something was off A textbook beauty like a perfect broth When our gazes met, she cornered me her crystal eyes like a tractor beam With a promise to set me free, it’s true When I woke up, standing over me she was feeding on my energy Shapeshifting gypsy was a fantasy anything I would want her to be Not quite so sane but I didn’t care My needs were met in spite of my fear The curse was set with her fiery hair, it's true I'm not surprised but it’s all a game A force too powerful, I can’t be blamed, it's true, it's true The curse was set, it was made with fear This is why you shouldn't care, it’s true, it's true In my condition of cold flesh and rot My answered prayers or so I thought Information is all that you want To wage a war that can’t be fought I was devoured by this entity Depleted me like a battery With a promise to set me free, it’s true The curse was set, it was made for fear This is why you shouldn't care, it’s true, it's true Now I know that I can’t be blamed Shapeshifting is a foolish game, it’s true, It’s true Genre Rock
