Through the Ringer

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You have put me 

through the ringer.

 

I didn't even like you.

 

I just wanted to be kissed 

like that forever.

 

Didn't matter by whom;

just about any 

warm body would do. 

 

But you were just here 

to ruin my life.

 

I shouldn't have even 

entertained you 

as an option.

 

Your memory faded 

little by little 

day after day.

 

Months later,

you came back

asking for me again.

 

All the hurtful things

you had once said

came flooding back.

 

So I was forced

to cut ties with you

permanently.
