The pain intolerable, the agony too much
You can't really be gone, It is a lie
Your hand in my mine, the warmness
I shall never feel again
Unspoken words, echoing in my head
Illusions of you in my dreams
The haunting whispers of guilt
Live within my soul
The picture of you stares coldly at me
Everyone knows the secret
But do they know the pain


And all I have left of you
Is the sweetness of your blood upon my lips
That will not fade away
< !signature-->


 We are each of us angels with only one wing...
and the only way we are able to fly..
is by embracing each other.

The sweetness of blood was a great, unexpected image. And the unspoken words echoing was great, too. The copy editor in me wants to change the word in the first line to the more grammatical "intolerable,"   but the ideas are wonderful. You captured a haunted feeling perfectly.

I too feel the 'sting' also the pain and confusion. Well expressed
