Heart Attack
I only had one heart attack
...but it felt like two.
When the second came,
it was quite true.
The wait seemed long
...but I knew it short.
'till the tests came back
and could now cohort.
The weeks went by
...but they felt like days.
I had missed the pain,
yet I feared the blaze.
The years have passed
...but only seconds remain.
Now I fear the heart.
Here comes the pain.
It's quiet and stiff
...but also dark.
Here is my death.
Goodbye; a lark.
