Heart Anesthesia Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Oh give me anesthesia
This breaking heart is torment!
I'll even take amnesia
To forget this pain Love sent.

Can't take the trip of Romeo
And Juliet in their exit,
Suicide's quick I know
But life's too fun to delete.

A doze of gin or brandy
May provide the cure I need
These bottles come in handy
But my pockets they will bleed.

A new source of euphoria,
An attraction that is new -
That's good heart anesthesia
And I hope that one is YOU.
