Relationships are
like Alka-Seltzer
You open it carefully
Cradling it so it doesn't break
It's strong, firm, and solid
It's like gold to you
Because you know it can
Take away your pain
You drop it in water
It starts to dissolve at
A rapid pace
You hold it up real close
The sounds are loud
All the tiny bubbles of air
Like it's drowning, suffocating,
And gasping for air
You watch with such intrigue
Noticing it's fading away
You drink and take in as
Much as you can before
It's completely gone
A sign of relief comes
Over you
You know you did what
You had to
You're in agony now
But you know soon
The agony will be gone
And you a better person
For taking that
Alka-Seltzer
