Random [stupid] Writing Exercise

Someday I want to use somebody.

I want to use someone for nothing but all they are worth.

It won't be special and it won't be unique.

I'll use them the same way I use a pen. Or a bottle of water. I'll use them for all they are there for and then throw them away.

They will cry.

I will smile as I turn elsewhere without a second thought.

Or maybe I'll recycle them.

Let them build confidence again, just to tear it away.

Either way they will feel exactly the way I do right now.

Alone.

Tired.

Worn out.

Used.

And it will all fall apart one day. Someday.
