Fingers, and arms
Toes, and legs
Lying so still, curled in a ball
Trying to feel small
Head, and face
Eyes going blank
Putting on just enough clothes to not feel myself,
Wrapping up in a blanket, trying to keep the warmth in,
Fingers, and arms
Toes, and legs
So numb all you can feel is the pain
Head, and face
Eyes going blank,
Sometimes talking takes too much.
