My Guitar Gently Weeps

There is a price to pay
you know...
when you use someone
and they use you,
I'm not talking about
the one you honestly
fell in love with
or the one you wanted to,
but due to technicalities
it didn't work out
that well for you,
I'm talking of the ones
you used for your pleasure,
fully knowing they wouldn't
become the one you would treasure.
There is a price to pay for those
you use and throw away.
The pain that is created
through bad connections,
the sorrow that lingers
while living with rejection.

A great lesson in morals, dear James. Whether we use each other, or being a gift to each other ... that makes the difference, even in short term relationships.

Well said.

"when you use someone
and they use you,"...a position of mutual safety and warmth while exploring other horizons, is not, to me, a negative thing, but an understanding of enjoyment until time to move on.

good piece, my friend...

Interesting write.  I agree that when you use someone, even if they are doing the same thing: You end up causing harm to yourself.
