My Strength Gone

Please read and comment...
I thought it was over.
I thought the pain was done with me.
My nails were starting to grow,
My skin was renewing.
Then I saw your picture
And everything tumbled.
My eyes are soaked in your memory
And my face stained with hurt.
I thought I was done,
But the pain just got worse.
My teeth shatter as they crumble to the ground.
My clothes catch on fire,
And burn off my skin;
They leave my soul showing,
As the cold wraps around me.
I'm now tender and brittle,
Disoriented and confused.
Where has my strength gone?
I left it, when I left you.
