NaPoWriMo 2016 Day 16

-Just Another Customer-

A long forgotten face
Appears at my side
And I cringe
Because I never wanted to see it again
Never wanted to interact
With this ghost of yesterday
The spirit of bad boyfriends past
You acted like you didn't treat me badly
Like you didn't cheat
And rage
And guilt me
Like you didn't hit on my mother on our first date
And you didn't hurl accusations
Across that gravel driveway
You were a mistake
One I've come to terms with
And moved passed in the past 9 years
So I'll continue to ignore you
And pretend I don't know your name
That you are just another customer
