Lover's Or User's Poem by Tina Ozolins

Lovers or users, which are which?
What is a user in someone else’s eye?
Who is the lover or who is the enemy?
What defines a friend from a foe?
Is it what they look like?
Is it what hair colour they have?
Or is it what colour eyes?
Is it how much money they have or inherit?
What makes a foe?
Money? Friends? Hair or eyes?
Does what is inside count at all?
Or do you judge the cover of the book?
Without getting to know them
Or can’t you even understand
What they are really like deep inside?
When you brake up does your lover become your foe?
Or does your user become your friend?
And does your lover become the user/
The enemy, the one you never want to see again?
Is this right? Does you user become
Your lover, your husband or your wife?
If it was your user’s child you carry what would you do?
Would you cherish it or neglect it?
Would you terminate their life?
Would it remind you of that friend that used you or the
Friend you want to marry?
