Another emotional love poem.

Am I supposed to be happy
when everything falls at the wrong place?
Dreams have flown away in wings
and sleep released me from its spell.
Now, I lie awake on my bed,
only to realize that dawn has arrived.
 
I whimpered at the thought
of new heartaches brought
by another day of adversity
due to your fatuity.
I just fake a smile
and everyone’s been under my guile.
 
I can just look at you two from afar.
While your eyes shine like little stars,
strings of tears stream down my cheeks.
You’ve crushed my heart
and I can’t thwart it from bleeding.
Yet, for you, I still have great longing.
 
My body is filled with exhaustion,
and I’m collapsing in oblivion.
Would you catch me if I stumbled,
the same way I did when you fell and lost?
will you ever appreciate me?
Then I learned, Love is like a razor blade.
 
And so, I grabbed one and slashed my wrist.
I felt my consciousness fade
as my soul separate from my flesh.

    I like the images, but I did get a little lost in the rhyme
