I'm out here- barely knowing why Thump, ooze, cringe, wince Oh, that's why I'm coming to with drained, unwilling eyes Stipped of all guards with inconsiderate abuse Tied down by angels of nostalgia Without given a second thought, I'm left alone with myself Left defenseless to the wrath of the dark nothing Each icy lash leaves five internally Out here- in the dead of winter, the scourging is barely felt The eternal brand is a thing of beauty How could something so perfect come to be with no effort, no thought? At least it will be over soon, right? This punishment has lasted long enough hasn't it? Why am I where in the first place? ---

Frost's Bite
