The cold
The cold

I really despise the cold

Lurking in my heart,
Seeping through my cracked skin,
Absorbed by the open wounds on my back

A lion made of dust and fog claws into my back,

The jacket surrounding me not thick enough nor strong enough to protect me

The cold
The cold

I really hate the cold

Death looms behind me with every step,
Every bone in my body aching fiercely,
As if the lion still has its claws buried deep into my skin

Said skin cracked by the icy winds of today,
tomorrow,
and last week.

The cold
The cold

It really hurts, the cold.

Winter, please be over soon.
