Cold water,

Cold eyes,

Cold words,

All make for a harsh winter.

I’m freezing

My limbs are shaking,

My minds in hase

I fight and fight

My heart grows colder

“Accept it” my mind whispers

“Accept the cold”

I fight

“Let it go and watch it walk away “

Limbs loosen

“Let it in”

I let it in

It still hurt and my body shook

Until finally, the chill stopped.
