I want to ask God why he made heartbreak feel like a heart attack
Why I feel sharp pains radiating from my chest -
All the way to my fingertips
In short bursts
The pain liquefying into numbing dust
I feel the aching up through my neck -
Into my ears
My eyes start to water -
Not with tears
Almost like dirt had been blown into my face
I lose feeling in my legs
And the air dissipates from my lungs
All from seeing a half empty carton of raspberries in my refrigerator
