They say absence makes the heart fond,
so why don’t you get lost tonight?
Escape! Don’t look back, but beyond
& please don’t say you feel contrite.
Don’t think of what you leave behind,
I can take it. Not invested.
My heart’s intact, ruled by my mind.
Apologies? Not accepted.

I take it, then, that messy breakups were more to your liking... Or none at all :)
