Syndrome

Why does the absence 

Of one person

Cause such an immense 

And gaping hole

Triggered by stressful situations 

Like losing someone you love 

Left ventricle weakens 

Arteries spasm 

And the muscle itself swells

Causing a pain that mimics 

A heart attack 

Chest tightens and 

Shortness of breath 

You feel like you’re dying 

But you’re not
