White flakes like knives
Fall from the sky.
Threatening to take the lives
Of those who lie.
Ripping apart the air.
Shredding the peace.
Destroying all care.
Leaving but a small piece.
Intaking a cold breath,
Searing my lungs and heart,
Freezing life to feel like death,
It will get worse, this is just the start.
One step at a time
Toward a wintry grave.
Uttering one final rhyme
I cannot be saved.
The moon shines bright
Between dark clouds.
I walk out of sight,
Away from the crowds.
Death may prey
In this endless cold.
Now I end this day,
For I will never be old.
