Dear Heartache

Dear heartache, why must you hurt me so?

What must I do to end this pain, I beg you, let me go

You rip my soul to pieces, and steal my hopes and dreams

You've clouded my perception, for nothing's like it seems

Tomorrow holds no future, I'm a prisoner of the past

Cursed to live in darkness by the shadows that you cast

Your taste is in the food I eat, that's salted with my tears

Your stain is on my pillow case that never disappears

Dear heartache, when will you set me free?

What have I done to cause this pain, why must you torment me?

I've written you this letter inquiring of your spite

But I finally know the answer, you're the reason that I write

Really... really a awesome write. I love the title and how you use "heartache" in this poem so nicely. Such great feelings and descriptions collide for a wonderful write. Heartache is such a troublemaker of emotions at time but it is also the fuel. Enjoyed this write, and these parts here:
"Your taste is in the food I eat, that's salted with my tears
Your stain is on my pillow case that never disappears"

"I've written you this letter inquiring of your spite
But I finally know the answer, you're the reason that I write"

Very nice structure with four lines to each stanza, and rhyming. Also enjoyed the questions used in this write.
