As prescribed, I followed
all the instructions on the bottle,
made sure that I didn’t miss a beat.
One before lunch, one when I
wake up in the morning,
& again before I went to sleep.
None of the symptoms went away
in fact, they got worse.
I came back for another diagnosis
& asked for something stronger,
something associated with a day without you.
The months gone without sight,
the possible loss of your voice
from my ears.
Do the rules of doctor-patient
confidentiality intensify
if I admit that I’ve OD’d
in thoughts of you?
