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!
