POETRY: SPLITTING UP WITH YOU WAS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME (IF I COULD GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN, I WOULD!) BY PAUL TRISTRAM

With a big smile upon my winning face,

hope and joy in my escaping heart.

I wouldn’t give you either the finger

or a wave goodbye.

I would just gather more days and miles

away from the misery and rot

which you engineer around yourself,

chuckling, like a right old good ‘un, as I did so.
