I ache

Some pain lives deeper than bone

I ache

I ache, I ache, I ache.

More than my bones.
More than my core.
Down to my heart
and into my soul.

My mind can only feel—
not a moment,
but a single breath.

I ache.
Oh, I ache.

My throat closing,
a demon crawling
into the space between my ribs.

In rips and tears,
oh, do I ache.
