Heartache

The shell of my heart has been broken, shattered like glass My soul misguided, manipulated from it's path Each new lesson becomes so much harder to learn Love is a Flame of Fire, stand too close and you'll get burned The doors that free me, emotionally they remain closed You can find me in the garden of the wilted rose Each petal is a memory slowly fading to black The pain inside constantly reminds me where you're at A single thought wages a war in my mind Heartache has been here since the dawn of time!
