Its aches work hard,

for a long, 24×7.

 

These aches,

they know no breaks,

they need no off days,

they can go at you,

hour after hour,

endlessly.

Relentlessly.

 

Just like the heart

that they belong to.

 

Just like the heart

that they belong to,

they do their job

on and on they go on

till you know the pain

no more.

 

Until, one fine day

they go numb and die.

 

Or die and go numb.
