Tygress
Like a tygress
You tore out my heart
Then casually tore it apart
It was poetry at first sight
I could think about you
All night
You told me to get a job
And I wanted to by God
I wanted to do anything
To impress you
God knows
I wanted to undress you
But instead
I became sullen and withdrawn
Went from kingpin
To a pawn
I did get you alone
But there were no curtains
To be drawn
I deeply admired you
My insanity tired you
I threw my toys out the pram
You chose another man
Your blessed friendship
Was always part of the plan
