Just walking
Twenty more minutes
My heart stops
I turn and look at him before everything goes black
'Where am I? Why am I still alive?' I ask
'A young man saw you fall and he checked for a pulse
When he found a weak one, he called here.' a blonde bimbo of a nurse stated
You see, I was never supposed to live through that event
I walked away from my house, calculating the exact spot
The exact spot of my death
I would take me 15 minutes to have the proper tools
I set out walking out to the lake which is 30 minutes from my house
I am frigid, wait sorry it is frigid, I knew I was going to die so why die with a coat on
I saunter towards the lake making sure to have something to break the ice
The ice is broken and I take the most arctic and death-defying plunge of my life
So I fall and as I fall, I think to myself, "where did I go wrong?"
I feel my numbness start to fade, I feel something so cold that for once I actually feel something.
Who was this mysterious young man? Where did he come from?
Why did he save me?
Why me?
Doesn't he know what I've done?
HE was the one who saved me
HE broke my heart
HE broke my spirit
HE broke me
HE betrayed me
HE is my inner demon
So why would he save me?
He didn't save me to let me live
He saved me to kill me slowly.
So in the end,
I will die a more
painful
death.

PoetryHey guys, this is just kinda what's on my mind. Names in here don't refer to the actual person I'm talking about. I will put a trigger warning out there now, and probably again before each poem.
