Shapeshifter

With words to flatter a naïve heart
And a look that condescends
You'll find she stays three steps apart
Entirely without friends

Despite being so disarming
As a team-mate she's a curse
While effortlessly charming
It's her she's putting first

Resist with every fibre
Not a girl you'd want to marry
How can I describe her?
Seven books of Snape to Harry

While sunlight bathes the world around
In the shadows she will bask
Can I trust this helper I have found?
Do you really need to ask?

Shapeshifter, you'd better beware
Her eyes are pools of wonder
That become a deathly stare
In the warmth of her arms
You'll want to confide
If she's your Doctor Jekyll
Then it's you that better hide

Shapeshifter, two people in one
She's got the hero's back
It's at the end of her gun
When deception's a craft
Betrayal's an art
She's carrying a stone where you and I
Have a heart

Watch her social twisting
Her enemies kept near
Apparently assisting
It's her motives that aren't clear

She'll tirelessly complete the task
And her task right now is you
The question that you need to ask
Would you like one face or two?
Shapeshifter, you'd better beware
Her eyes are pools of wonder
That become a deathly stare
In the warmth of her arms
You'll want to confide
If she's your Doctor Jekyll
Then it's you that better hide

Shapeshifter, two people in one
She's got the hero's back
It's at the end of her gun
When deception's a craft
Betrayal's an art
She's carrying a stone where you and I
Have a heart

Persuasive, compelling
Her arguments are sound
I'm buying what she's selling
But I feel on shaky ground

If clever's what you've yearned for
She seems the perfect catch
For those who have been burned before
Come close she'll light the match

Shapeshifter, I made you sound cruel (he made her sound cruel)
The truth in my opinion is
I think your pretty cool (he thinks she's pretty cool)
Some days you're nicer than pie (nicer than pie)
Just remind me not to ask you
Where your loyalties lie (where do they lie)

Shapeshifter, unpredictable twists
Your choice of moods is tattooed
On a criminal's fists (love or hate)
We're pawns in a game
You see from above (she sees from above)
You make this world more interesting
But who do you love?
