a gift returned

dearest friend
after our end,

i leave this for you now
because it is right
and if i were you, i
would want it back too

yes, i am angry;
hanging you on my wall
will only tempt darts
drunken shouting
and possibly my telephone
(i have no say in these matters
of alcohol and technology)

i don't mean harm, or pain
only fairness
and an ending, because
i don't want this reminder
of you loving me
to help me forget
that you loaned yourself
with mention that my sanity
was your collateral
only in the fine print

also, i need a last word

i wish you
well
