The Prowler
The Prowler
You taunt me with your smooth facade
You stain me with your lies
You've played me one too many times,
And I fell for your disguise
You're a tattooed mess of arrogance
mixed with forbidden skill-
You mix your danger with your pleasures
And all my doubts are swiftly killed
You strut into a crowded room
commanding all eyes be on you
Demanding what you think you need,
Your a gangster through and through
Your sexuality floats upon the breeze
With the smell of cheap cologne
I keep in stride,
You flaunt me around
with possessive undertones
Why do I get so confused and weak
with these shady, squirrelly kind?
Have I forgotten how to trust my gut,
Or have I simply lost my mind?
By Sandy Sinn
About this poem
This poem describes the type of guy I always found myself attracted to, and I wondered why the dynamics were always the same with different guys I dated. This piece explains the type and dynamic with a humorous, cynical flair.
