All I Have

a tear
a word
a kiss of good-bye
a lost love
i'm so depressed
a broken heart
a tortured soul
a silver blade across my wrist
a gash forming
a bloody beaded line
a screaming psycho in my head
whispers saying, " I wish I were dead"
the thorns of the rose you gave
pushing through skin and vein.
This is everything
and all I have-
now that you have left my side,
now that you are no longer mine.

The author's comments:
I went through a very hard time when my ex left and went into the marines after telling me that he never wanted to hear from me again. This poem is based on that I guess.
