Demise - A Short Story Poem by Unknown Rosa

There's a place to know, a place to see
Light is shining, all around me
There's a place that I go, people I meet
My heart shatters in two, but not from the heat
It's the cold that grips, seizing its hold
Tightening it's grasp, till I feel no more
I treasure my presence, of others more so
I let emotions get the better of me, rebuking once more
No end is in sight, the horizon is wide
So bleak and vast, I'm crying inside
Death is on my doorstep, or is it all in my head
The numbing got the best of me, I wanted to be dead
It's been getting clearer, but I'm still so lost
I've always known, but refused to steadfast
I ached for the cold, the familiar pain
I longed for my suffering, for its heavy chains
I feel like a loser, trapped in my own demise
Tell me I'm sober, cause I'm dying inside
The fight prolongs, I refuse to give in
To love and serenity, I just wanted to win
It was so hard to pass up, and now here I am
Tell me, sweetness, indulge me
I'd love to know more
My heart is beating, but it's all on its own
