Ode to Afrin (Nose Spray)

Afrin, O Afrin, what would I do
Without a medicine so helpful as you?
At night when I can't breathe
I reach for my hero
How much I appreciate you
The world may never know
And I don't care what anyone around me will say
Perhaps I won't abandon you after the 3 days
But what is this?--today you've seemed just a little weaker
My future, tonight, tomorrow, is looking so much bleaker
Is it true, please tell me, that after only six uses
You desert me or even worse may shower harsh abuses?
For I have read (and some have said) that after those 3 days
Of bliss and clarity you may leave me in a haze
Wondering and lamenting if I'd not been better off
Not calling on your name at all while others watched and scoffed
Afrin O sweet Afrin I've trusted and believed
Yet now I see the very hard and cruel reality
Though first you comforted and salved, now I'm so much worse
Your stay was only bittersweet, hesitant and terse.
