heartache

A poem shared via Substack Notes on Thursday, September 17, 2026 I won’t say I’m heartbroken, because that meansyou broke me, butmy heart aches for you. isn’t that different? it sounds nicer–cleaner, like I’m not missingyou as much as you know I am. like I had something moreto do with the No Usthat exists. like it’ll heal beforeI can remember the pain it iscausing me tohave known you.isn’t it different? that my heart achesfor you…isn’t it?
