POETRY: I’VE DECIDED I’D LIKE TO OWN YOU BY PAUL TRISTRAM

“I’ve watched you closely and intently

for the last month or so

and I have to admit I’m liking what I’m seeing.

Don’t get me wrong, you ain’t no Brad Pitt

and your fashion sense is primeval cowboy

but we Can and Will work on that later.

It’s the way you are so ‘caring’ and ‘thoughtful’,

there are not many ‘Gentlemen’ left.

You’re loyal too, which means you won’t

make a cunt out of me in front of the Gossipers,

I’ve seen it with that Bitch who’s been

fucking you about lately and bless you

but it’s my turn now, I want some of that.

I want you to fall as hard as you possibly can,

you have my permission to pester me publically,

for awhile, I want everyone to see it,

besides I could do with some pampering.

And if you don’t go turning away

when it comes time for me being nasty

(I know you won’t, I’ve already witnessed

your devotion and dedication to a hurtful cause!)

you’ll be making me a very happy girl indeed,

it’s been an eternity since I broke a ‘nice guys’ heart!”
