He gasped for air

Choked for suffocation

Oxygen abandoned

Him covered and held

In the cold arms of Death

One who clasped the victim

Tighter and tighter

Until he knew he would not breathe.

Lips tinged blue

As if kissed by an Ice Maiden

He lay down

And watched walls enclose him

Almost like a coffin

A coffin six feet underground

He did not fight

Nor claw his way out

He just let himself be hugged and kissed

Until his spirit left in bliss.
