“How can you say that it's not working,

I've always tried to make it work.

How could you do this to us?”

“Hate to be cliché, but

It's not you, it's me.”

“That's the worst line,

You could use!”

“Sorry.”

“Bitch”

    The one-word responses at the end are cold but, close the poem and encapsulate the breakup so well, particularly the different reactions.
