Why

the sharp pain in my finger,
from the rose thorn,
and the cold wind around me 
remind me of the sharp pain and cold I felt the day 
you left. 

how could you leave me here
alone?
how could you listen to my cries but not 
come?
how could you watch over me but not
help?
how could I not see your pain?
why did I not see sooner?

the world we live in is sharp and cold,
as was the blade you used.
it was 
and
still is 
something I can never forgive myself for.
