Here we are, slugging it out in this arena again. You and I, circling the ring, looking for an opening, throwing punches.
Kapow! You connect with an upper-cut: that waitress in Kansas City.
Oomph! I counter with a body blow: that guy you used to work with.
On and on, no bell to stop us, no ref to break us apart, no trainer to throw in the towel.
“We’re not supposed to be doing this,” I remind you. “The counsellor said we should work on keeping the past in the past.”
“The past is all that’s left for us,” you say.
Too often very true… food for thought… Kudos …
Hello Louis,
A boxing ring with sparring opponents–perfect analogy of a marriage or love affair on the rocks. Well done!
A great story of being trapped in a relationship.
No pun intended but great punchline at the end.
Great analogy and creative marital bout description.
Enjoyed this. Different tale. cheers
