Combining 痛み and 物 (痛め物?)

Hi!

I’m writing a choir piece with lyrics from a Minamoto no Shigeyuki poem from Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.

I want the title to be 痛み but because of how the word 物 is repeated throughout the lyrics it would be nice to have it in the title as well, so I was thinking about how verbs is combine with 物 as in 買い物 and 食べ物. In both of these cases it’s th verb stem that then is combined with 物 so even though it’s not a thing, would it kind of make gramatical sense, maybe in a “quirky and artistic” way to have the title be “痛め物” or would it just look wrong?

Thank you!

^(Yes I’m aware of the homophone 炒め物)
