detour up ahead

i used to refer
to bad relationships as
speed bumps,
mere 
bumps in the road,
survival
nuisances,
but once past them
it's clear sailing
from then on.
but sometimes.
it's not just a bump.
it's a crevice,
it's a sink hole
and you have to climb
your way out
of the crash and burn,
grappling
up the side of a crevice
that's beyond
any bump in the road.
no one warned
you with a detour.
