Heart Attacking

The problem with being so unreasonably experienced in

Long-term partner breakups and

Long-term illnesses and

Major surgeries is that

When you have chest pains from the

Lies and cowardice and the

Anxiety of knowing

She is going to lie and save face

No matter what you say—

You just kinda go

“Jesus Christ. Another one”

And don’t get too alarmed when your

Chest pain intensifies and the nausea returns and

You realize you have all the symptoms of a heart attack but

None of the time for that.

Throwing up and being dizzy is not

The best for a first day on the job and

The mental confusion is making my life hard.
