I can't see any reason for the haphazard line breaks, the lack of any discernible grammar, or the punctuation. You have squeezed more cliches in a few short lines than I would have thought possible. (sealed fate, backward thinking, burdened thoughts)
fate: sealed.

and so
eventually, or is it suddenly? the reader cannot answer this quandry
the heart once
determined, demanding...
is bruised, broken, bare - cliche, cliche, cliche
and yet
you’re still searching,

plunging further into cliche
darkness,
searching, searching

throat burning

relief.
alas,
moments, memories,

gone.
There are so many cliches in this string of unintelligible, grammar-less, randomly line-broken words it comes across not as poetry but as chopped up thoughts that might "sound" poetic but instead come across as hopelessly abstract.
Sorry I don't have much positive to say, this might be better suited to the "novice" or "mild" critical forums.
