This Ache

This gut-wrenching,

soul twisting,

heart breaking

ache,

is what's

left behind

in 9/11's wake.



This un-ending,

un-easing,

unbearable

sorrow,

is with me

since then

and will

still be

tomorrow.



These horrible,

frightening,

painful

flashbacks,

have been

in my mind

since

the day

of the attacks.



These flowing,

cascading,

never ceasing

tears,

shall fall

in my heart

for all

of my years.
