Blue lips
chapped and broken
Chatter in the cold
The skin of
A ghastly pallor
lying alone
On the ground
Blood Pooling round
Each breath labored
A painstaking task
Unable to move
Unable to speak
The pain too overwhelming
The strain too much
So lie alone
Minutes or hours
pass in agony
Getting weaker
And succumbing to
The deep dark slumber
That pulls so
Lids struggle
To stay open
Give in
And the eyes
Finally flutter closed
with one last
shuddering sigh
you die
