I lost it all
Long ago,
Walked along
Searching-
For what remained

Emptiness then
Kissed my lips,
Stillness hugged
My weakened legs

Standing there
I saw it.
Drifting away-
It teased my brain

A breeze so cold
It chilled my bones,
I turned away
Too stiff to go

So hard to breathe
The winter air,
A tingly hand
Then numbness came

Standing there
Everything gone,
I felt okay
For I remained!
