Useful

A Poem by Shujnki

I’ve heard

If you are not being used

Then you are useless

I must confess…my body is now heartless

My soul is empty

Drained by the best

I can give no less

Or produce no more

For those that feel the need to use and walk out the door

Left in the silence of my thoughts

Scattered what ifs are brought to focus

No one knows this, but I try

Not to show this emotional state

Of bewildered heartbreak

The intake to pulmonary arteries

Blood flow to every part of me

Halted…once more

Used for purposes intended

Unannounced

That your friendship had an agenda

To force feed that spoon full of sugar

Helping the reality of life go down smoother

Realizing an alternate perspective

Of what is received aint always the negative

Pose, point, click…the shutter shatters

We fall into scarred pieces of laughter

Sharing our most intimate encounters

Changing thought patterns and behavior

You were never “the one” for me…nor I for you

Guess I wasn’t the only one being used…
