Submission for the Unnecessary Line challenge

It was honestly kind of easy

To know that she was really mad as Hell.

Just one look at her pretty face

And you don't need that much to quickly tell.

*

Picking this place was a smart move

There were several people chatting around.

I was afraid to be just us today

And having my voice silenced and drowned.

*

But she was behaving

And surprisingly quiet for how she usually is.

I tell her my reasons

And there was no response, not even a fizz.

*

I was talking while she was silent

Like a person that doesn't say any words.

The conversation was going slow

It felt like eating a full serving of curds.

*

But at the end we agreed

That the breakup was better for both

We said our goodbyes

And we parted on our ways without a revolt.

*

The best part of this?

She is finally gone and now I can chill.

I am completely free

It's time to reclaim my missing free will.
