Aspirin
March 29, 2013
My chest squeezes,
I go to my knees,
Can no one hear my screams?
Am I doomed to die here?
They just stood there indifferent to my pain.
Then I realize my heart is dead.
I am dead.
A flicker of pain still remained.
Too late someone handed me a pill.
Ridiculously tiny,
this could have saved my heart,
I once believed…
but deep inside…
I know aspirin doesn't heal broken hearts.

Wow! How intense. I shivered when I read the last line. Very very very good. But... Are they having the spaz attack because of the broken heart? Or a drug overdose? It's not really clear. It might be because I'm in biology and am not paying attention, but it just lacks clarity on my end. Overall, really powerful. I loved reading it. You should submit this into a contest or something. It's nice.
