The End | Ritika Sajith

Now I would like to rest

I would like to be free

Free from the heaviness of my heart

And the sins of my past

Free from the rope that ensnares me

To everything in this world

The cold floor seems welcoming

With icy vines creeping its way close

I lay naked on the floor

Welcoming the cold

The silence is shattered with my ragged breath

Fighting for a life my mind has lost hope of

My heart and mind fighting over a life

Fighting over a waning flame

Is it worth all this?

My body goes numb

Seems like the fight has come to an end

I'm paralyzed, helpless

With icy vines closing over me

One lone vine pierces my heart in deep

Drawing out blood in deep blue

A shrill scream echoes in the room

One last dire fight from my side

Before I'm another red mark on the list.
