On My Last Legs

A Poem About Sacrifice

On My Last Legs

I gave you everything

you took it

I breathe for you

you inhaled every breath

I held you in comfort

You felt safe

I hold a blade because of you

drip. .drip...drip

Her answers to a simple question 

tore the goodness out of my soul

why have you shamed our love?

"You cannot make me whole"
Dragging myself up
  swig another drink

walls closing in 

blood as black as ink

Leave then if I can't complete you

pursue that elusive ONE

every part that cared for you
 Is already done

grabbing used blade 

placing against her face

tears roll down her cheeks 

put her in her place

"please don't hurt me baby"
too late for her pleas

locking our eternal tomb

throwing away the keys

Slicing every piece of flesh

You take it

exhausted breathing heavily
you inhale your remaining breaths 
holding you the last few seconds
you feel only hate
I hold a blade because of you

drip. .drip...drip

Poetically marvelous. In many ways the lines you penned reflect inner frustrations of my own.
