So Cold

[profound_moment]

It's so cold in the snow.
Trudge. Lost in the confusion.
Cold lies sting my eyes.
Bitter wind screams the truth.

Alone.

I hear your voices in the distance.
A mirage of laughter,
Constantly moving farther away.
You aren't looking for me.
I know it.

Concede to the cold.
The tiny flakes,
each individual thing,
dust over me.

Concede with eyes wide,
disappearing in relief.
It's so cold in the snow.
