The Politics Of Breaking Up

I hoped this could have worked somehow.
But it's making me use
more hurtful words than
I would like to.

Let's just take our hard worked freedom,
look at it, split it in two:
one's for me; the other
goes back to you.

Now we both have what seems an equal share
of that which used to bring
such rage and despair.
Please, go! I'm through.
