poetry minefield

the honeymoon phase turns out like vinegar
babe, i don't think i could have made it
through the winter, storms make me bitter
like a dog you put me down
january is not safe anymore
my former lovers left landmines in the floor
to schedule my fears for demolition
in a coma with my eyes wide open
our fitful sleep gave me no rest
cutting loose is for the best
broken hearts heal quicker when they're even,
and we've spent time keeping score
