I sit here, all alone,
Remembering our years together.
But now you're gone, and I am nothing,
Barren nothing.
Your smell still lingers, driving me insane,
You're everywhere, everything, you're part of me.
The closet still disheveled with your things; you never did clean it,
Now you can't, can you?
Why? Why did you leave me?
I'm still so young, so eager to continue,
And yet, not willing.
Is that you, behind the shadows?
I think this horribly ominous house,
Might be getting to me, emotionally,
I never wanted it, and only now, I see why you loved it so,
It's vast majority of rooms, the musty smell, mixed with my sweet perfume,
I'm not you, I'm not you. Am I?
This house now seems to accept me.
Please come back.
Please don't let me live alone.
It was my fault you died.
You died coming home, to me.
That stupid car took your life, your spirit, part of me.
I lay in this big old squeaky bed,
And gently take a knife from the table,
I close my eyes, picturing you with me.
I put the point to my neck, cold, this feels wrong,
Wrongly right, I don't stop, I continue... this is for you.
The blood is pouring,
My vision is leaving me; my body grows numb,
I broke a sweat, it's getting dark, and I'm scared,
I'm scared, I'm so scared.
Where are you? You're nowhere to be seen.
I... I... can't... breathe.
It's all over.

I was never really pleased with this poem. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can improve it? Thanks a bunch.
