The Disease of Heart Ache

She has driven
the rusty nail
of heart ache
into my body

Its disease spreading
through my veins
numbing my soul

My heart starting
to crack in half

 A feeling as if
I will never
find the cure

I am in
a comma
never coming out of it

Hello Benjamin...

This is going great! "She has driven the rusty nail of heart ache into my body" This first stanza pulled me in, nice and smooth...and for sure. I'll be looking for you... Gentle regards, Raven
