cramps are to heartbreak as painkillers are to...

I was gonna go on and say that I lied
that I'm not okay
that the crack in my heart deepens & grows with each pop up in my mind of that damn scene
where I was vulnerable
where I let myself...just go
release
that I wish I held it all back
showed some restraint
but I'm good now again
it...comes and goes
at first it was hard to breathe
and now it's the easiest thing in the world
like fucking cramps
one minute I want to scream from how much it hurts
and for the next fifteen seconds I feel relief
it passed
but then my face shows it all
the pain
not cause it came back but because I know it will
I guess all there is to do is enjoy the present 15 seconds of peace
until I can find my moment's analogy to a painkiller
