Landmine [Poem]

goodbye after a whirlwind heist

always just one day at a time

see you soon casually

your recurring nightmare searching me

how long can you live the fantasy?

 

we never win if you don’t fight

become my ride or die

your declaration of love

a bouquet of sweet nothings

is anything enough?

 

burning bright fading quickly

longing to feel free again

cracks on layers of ice

standing on melting ground

who else believed your lies?

 

trivial honeymoon discussions

there’s nothing to break up

regret and rewind and

my dumb dumb heart won’t stop

 

clear sight of what was always there

ventilate the gaslit air

a surface for your projection tells

everybody is somebody’s monster

 

how many are you?
