Name That Tune
Breathing deep to find relief
Unaware of the stealthy grief
Tangled thoughts remain
It’s a constant but dull pain
Nothing relives the ache
Though you pray “For God’s sake”
Something you can’t even explain
But it’s a constant and dull pain
At times you forget it’s there
Then comes the pain and despair
Finally it dawns on your brain
It’s a constant yet dull pain
Those around you try but fail
Explanations could never avail
Though you tell it like a songs refrain
Of this constant yet dull pain
Only those who recognize the tune
Know the words and melody soon
The beat and harmonies are plain
It’s a constant but dull pain

There are several songs with the title Pain and more with the title Headache Pentagram does a song called Dull Pain. Got me. love puzzles but this one has got me.
Makes me think of "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M. or "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails... or maybe I'm just dreaming it up. 🕊️🙏🏻
I am going along with arqious on this one, (rem), enjoyed the read
