Heartache

My heart has been broken, shattered like glass
My soul misguided, led from its path
Each new lesson becomes 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 she’s at
Just a single thought wages a war in my mind
Heartache has been among us since the dawn of time

It has been there since the dawn of time, and will remain until the dusk. Decent descriptiveness here.
