as the cold seeps to the bone
slithers far beneath the skin
to the coursing blood within,
lamenting silently, so forlorn
tainting crimson, steals the heat
bitter cold, doth from it retreat
coursing innards with deepend scorn
the poison as it takes it's toll
upon the life, and tortured soul
shattered fragments, mangled, torn
ails the body, mind and all
wretched form, shall break and fall
but for us, none shall mourn
