Used Poem by Singleton M. Tate

My Life's a Puzzle, a merry-go-round.
I'm always ending up in the lost and found.
No one to claim me as their own,
just Use and Discard, until I'm all gone.

I can't go on, it's killing me, the pain and heartache,
they don't care to see. What they want is different,
baby I'll take you there, put your hand in mine,
trust me, have no fear!

I think you're beautiful, you know I care.
Now give me your love, so I can go elsewhere.
It's a game to them, it's a lot of fun, an emotional yo-yo,
they can have on the run.

Like a snack into hand, they devour with one gulp!
Scattered limbs and pieces, give way to only a stump!
The tree, that was flourishing, growing stronger, day by day,
has suddenly been dismembered, cast aside, thrown away.

OK, you say, it's all my fault! You let yourself be sold and brought! I'll take the blame, I was a little naive. I was ripe for the picking, and too ready for the thieves!

So, I'll just try to keep my feelings to myself.
Close my heart and my eyes, never desire anyone else.

Cause, if I don't now, I might not have this chance again.
To demolish, Man's Seduce, Use and Discard Plan!
