Mr Metamorphic


You said I was a flower,
that I smelt of musk and honey
weren't interested in my money.
You told her the same lie,
except she was apple pie
because of her youth.

Seems she too wasn't right
too uptight, a proper bitch
you told her; just not rich.
Would have thought she'd see
your serial monogamy
was not subject to pause.

Mr Metamorphic changed
to fit another mould
found another hand to hold
too much of a dude to date
Emma, or Clarice or Kate
So goddamn special you.

I hear your latest is a blonde
hope she knows your place
somewhere in some dark space
where you can be an arsehole
can't sell another female soul
to the devil in your pants.

Hi ya Kate. Welcome back to Sensitize

I remember reading this poem by you over on that other writer's forum and I loved it back then too. Superb piece, easily read and packed with a powerful punch.

Yep, remember this one too. Cleverly written with a perfect mix of bitterness and humour. Great stuff.
