After the Ache

By M Williams

Some pain doesn't leave all at once.

It softens.
It settles.
It becomes something quieter...
but no less real.

After the Ache is not a story about heartbreak-
It's about what comes after it.

The silence.
The questions that fade.
The slow return to yourself
after loving someone who couldn't stay.

This collection moves through the space between loss and healing-
where nothing is fully broken anymore,
but nothing feels completely whole yet.

Through raw, reflective poetry,
M. Williams explores:

the quiet shift from holding on to letting gothe process of rediscovering who you arethe kind of love that no longer hurtsand the strength that remains when everything else falls away

This isn't about closure.

It's about clarity.

And the moment you realize-
You didn't lose everything...

You found yourself.
