He found another
to fill his needs
bright, rich, sleek
to fit his
narcissistic
lifestyle
and left me
used and tainted…
forgotten by the wayside

ReplyDeleteHa! This was fun to write-expunging really ancient demons! At 20, had been dating someone for a few months. Right after the holidays he showed up at a place that we frequented with another girl on his arm, wearing the gift I'd given him for Christmas! Nervy huh?!! There are names for guys like this, but I fear "unprintable" in polite company!!
ReplyDeleteUsed and tainted ... not YOU.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen! Poetic license, although felt pretty "used" at the time!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the pain.....beautiful writing Ginny!!

We've all been there! Good Magpie write.
ReplyDeleteHow cruel can it be! That's the way of the world. Used and abused and left to fend for itself!
