My Everything

For a friend who went through something similar to this...

You say you love me

and I believe you.

You want "us" to last forever

Can it really be true?

 

I give you all of me,

what I can never undo,

Now we are bound together,

To you I'll always be true.

 

But when I tell you the news,

what we two have done,

you tell me to "handle it".

You only wanted some fun.

 

My heart ripped to shreds,

I no longer feel at all.

Love and hope, hate and pain

All gone, I can only fall.

 

Spiraling down, into the abyss

the darkness blinds my eyes.

Sitting alone, where you took me,

no one can hear my cries.

 

Shining silver in my hand

the razor's smile gleams

the illusion is gone,

nothing is as it seems.

 

I press it to my wrist,

a small trickle begins.

I feel no pain,

and the razor still grins.

 

Then, as everything is about to end,

I feel it inside, a beating heart.

This isn't about me anymore.

She deserves a fair start.

 

I put the blade down and rise.

It won't end this way.

I know I have to move on,

For my everything, my darling Fae...

I love this poem, and the small story hidden in the words. I adore how you said the razor 'grinned' and the last stanza. This is a wonderful piece of work and I love it, love it, love it! The rhymes are great and so is the flow. It fits nicely together. :D

This was very interesting to read. The depiction of cutting in this poem was very well described, and so true. Good job on this one.

Nicely written, good rhyme and flow. It's pathetic how cutting as become so commonplace now that it takes away a lot of the emotion that is expressed in your writing of this poem. But it's still emotional and it's good that the speaker had the strength and intelligence to keep living and not do something so incredibly stupid. I particularly enjoyed the personification of the razor, how it grinned. Very well written.
