Heartache.
It's worse than
the knives,
the broken bones,
the bullet holes.
The pain
drives you insane,
eating you alive,
consuming
your brain.
The aching shows
you're close
to breaking -
whithered away,
weak.
The idea of anyone else
causes you
to push everyone away,
until it is only
yourself.
The only thing worse
than a headache
is the ache
that started it -
the heartache.
