so cold

and i cry

i can't hide from the cold

it's everywhere

it drips from my hair

and runs down my face

i shiver

quiver

my eyes are closed

they won't open again

and i cry

it steals my breath

my heart won't beat

i want you

i need you

to warm me

breathe for me

icy fingers reach into my chest

gripping my heart

a kiss and a promise

and it's over

the air burns

it's too cold

your heat is gone

and i cry

This was written for someone very, very special to me. He died doing what he loved. I guess that's all anyone can hope for sometimes. He is still very dearly missed.
