Long-lasting Cold

Shivers run down my spine.

An ice cold breeze flows through my bones.

Fingers - burnt with frost.

Numb from the cold.

Skin of my lips -

Dry and bitter

Chapped and chipped

Breaking away from the surface.

I blow out a breath of frustration

The fog files out to blend with the crisp, cool air.

My nose is a flaming red.

My toes curl to meet the balls of my feet

Begging to be warmed.

The lobes of my ears tingle.

My eyes stare blankly at the unknown.

The temperature slowly decreases.

Time is scarce.

Heat is running out.

Frozen.

No amount of heat can break the ice.
