A click and a lie away
from screwing you all night and day
posting yourself like prostitute
whom needs no pay.
Why do this when you seem
like a perfectly descent human being
I understand the need to be needed
but at the cost of your soul seems a little conceded.
Please for yourself and everybody else
just remember you need to be patient
or you will end up like an old factory
used and left to decay from the inside and out.

Very truthful, you do a stark reality check. Very frank.

very interesting poem. you broach a subject that most people would avoid, i think it was really good of you to honestly state what you feel about this, great write, it was very raw and sincere.
