This cold is draining my energy..
My bones ache
I feel so frigid
Like I will break
I long to feel the warmth
Warm me to sweat
I chatter I shiver
I cannot handle it much longer
Long winter weather
just makes me shrill
My body cannot wait
much longer
Needing and dreaming
of the warmer weather
If it lasts much longer
I fear I'll need longer to thaw
I add more clothes
It does not help
I try this and that
It's no use
I'm becoming a permanently frozen human
