here I subsist trudging thru the cold dark,
numb to the world, numb to myself
flickering light finds me glowing
warming my frozen bones
with every sudden darkness the chill rushes back
each time the light goes out it takes a piece of my mind with it
as i reach toward the light to see why it flickers it moves away
just out of reach refusing my touch
my tired dry eyes blink and when they open the light is gone its warmth replaced by an even colder chill, the darkness even darker
I scream but there is no one to hear, did I scream if no one heard?
A sound reaches my ears like the wailing of a banshee,
my voice reflected upon the frozen landscape is the only thing to keep me company in this dark frozen waste.
My footholds broken.
