Heartache
There is that sadness of grief
that creeps in, tight and oppressive,
squeezing the very beat of the heart
drawing it in, in unspeakable pain and heartache
as it struggles for breath, understanding, logic,
only to breathe in exasperated sobbing gasps
denying the acceptance of an inexpressible loss
that clutches clings and lingers to forge
a forever in the memory
of you
gone.
