You are the tire treads over me
Flattening my will
Stamping my heart
With the same tired pattern
of guilt and regret
The crushing force
that keeps me from ever
forgetting you

The author's comments:
"Tired patterns, is both literal in saying the poem is about tires, and figuratively about the humdrum patterns in relationships"
