I need Pepto for this bittersweet burn in my chest.

I need Pepto for this bittersweet burn in my chest
that questions my sanity.
Will this remedy do me any good?
If I treat it, will the fire spread?
If I don’t, will I see the forest through the trees?
If I douse the fire with Tums,
will my chest feel hollow and cold,
like a log frozen over after a wildfire?
Is Loki crushing my heart
and cackling as he spits in my face
while Cupid is kicking me in the nuts
and stabbing me with an arrow tip?
Come to think of it, I’ll need more than Pepto.
