Jaded

Looks like rain today
The sky, I've never seen that shade of gray
This is how I feel inside
It's been like this since you went away

Black, not my heart, is on my sleeve
Its the color that I wear
I never wanted you to leave
This is sometimes too much to bear

My soul's been cut deep
The knife..it plunged in too far
Blood..red as strawberries, just not as sweet
I'm afraid it left a permanent scar

Searching for an answer, I look to Heaven above
Standing here on a precipice, it's you I wait for
Should I do it? Fall into love?
I don't know...I am so unsure

This pain I have..there's no pill I can take
You're what I know...you're my drug
Take me to the water..immerse me in the lake
Renew my soul, make me whole...drown me in your Love

How sad this poem is, but I guess love and saddness tend to be main themes in poetry. "Blood..red as strawberries, just not as sweet" is a great line. Nice metaphor/simile. You should try to enable more of it into your writing.
