Heartache

You can’t touch it 

Like the gummy pink scar 

Over which your fingers nervously run.

 

You can’t heal it

With a kiss from mom 

Or a few stitches at the hospital.

 

You can’t ignore it

Like a tumor

Slowly infesting your body

 

You can only try to hide it

Like a hickey 

From a bad one-night stand.

 

But it never goes away -

And it never goes away -

So it never goes away -

 

It will never go away.
