"so what do i do with this heartache?"

"take 4 aspirin and don't call me in the morning

find someone else to raise your temperature

my emotional license has expired 

and i am giving up the  practice."

Pictured a note on the surgery door saying gone fishing when I read this. I feel the emotion in this piece, almost cynical depiction of the modern times we dwell in. no known cure, except to take more doses of the disease to strengthen your resolve to it, which will no doubt end up weakening it in the long run.
As ever Jacob, perfectly expressed.

Loved this Jacob, like a Statement to be read out loud, to get it out of the system and put it out there. Brilliantly worded/expressed

Really? Can I also take only 4 aspirin to be okay? Lol

Can someone get tired of love? Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on the degree of heartache one may experience from loving a person. If you feel you are being abused, it is time to stop for a while, then move on alone or with other people who cares for you.

Well-done!

thank you for your insightful words, Dhaye...

ah man Jacob, I know this heartache well... so tell me why does that love bug keep messing with us??? oh, and you must know this, but 4 aspirin are hardly enough... lol

I like this poem and it's use of a common saying to deliver needed medicine to a broken heart..
