Ode to Excedrin Migraine

You left
Gone
Recalled
I did not miss you
I did not need you
I could get by without you
I didn't even realize you were gone
Until today
Today I hurt
Pain
Ache
Migraine
Where were you
On the shelf
Right where you belonged
I bought you
I swallowed you
I waited
I watched the second hand
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
1,800 tick-tocks later
No more ache
No more pain
You did your job
I'm glad you're back
