Break Up


It ended.
Just like that
Quick
No explanation.

Are all problems so simple?
Or do they live by dying an overdue death
Under the torture of reasoning

Of poor explanations
Poor judgments
And poorer decisions

It is better
Quick
Sharp as a knife.
A new chance

For life waiting
For another chance,
And you

-Dejan Stojanovic
