Barely There

Ice
Is the wind blowing on my face?
Where am I?
I slow down my pace
Waiting for the moment
All I’ll see is black
BLACK
Is the night
Hiding all the light
Stopping my heart
Ripping the sounds apart
Cold as winter
No movement comes from my body
Trying to breathe
My mouth closes shut
The lights
Turn out
I’m slipping
Slipping into the night
Barely holding on
Telling myself
No, I’ve won
Hoping I’m not too late
But yes indeed
The more I bleed
The faster it comes
BANG!
Ice
Is the feeling of my skin
I’m dark as night
Waiting for the light

That never comes
