So Cold

The cold seeped into my bones,

Resting it’s frozen fingers beneath my skin—

My heartbeat slows,

The coldness smiles as it seems to win


My fingers go numb

And my tears threaten ice;

What is this cold life

That is nothing but a vice?


Shakes tremble through my body

Like drums singing above.

My knees buckle onto the white snow,

Though it’s not soft like that of a dove


Pain courses through my body,

I can feel life leeching—

No I don’t want to leave,

I beg beseeching!


Darkness hinders my sight

As I finally locked—

I close my eyes and invite Death,

Until finally, the chill stopped.
