Winter Drowning ~1/2/13~

Walking on ice, breaking under my feet

Plunged into the icy deep

Clear white ice hovering over the water like a sheet

The winter water is far from asleep

Pulling and tugging my body under

Wide eyes, with fear standing

Winter that has frozen over

My lungs are aching

Something so beautiful

Is now sinister

Something that glitters and sparkles like an angel

Is now bitter

Frantically banging on the thick ice ahead

The world around me is slowly becoming dead

The cold pricking my skin like needles

Where are my angels

Tears blur my eye sight

As my lungs burn

Is this my end? Where did I begin?

My life is being upturned

Darkness surrounds me

As I drift down

The darkness is eerie

I am slowly but surely going to drown

The air that I hold

I let go

All I can feel is the cold

My skin becoming blue and hollow

I count down the seconds

Which feels like thousands

Of my life slowly falling away

This will be my last day

With Winter Water's drowning

I look at my body falling into the dark depths of the water

My soul stuck in this world forever killing and haunting

Stories of me will cross and fold

Of the girl that died

That winter night

In the cold

That twisted and burned

Who now haunts

People who come to see

If the stories are true

But what they see

Will be forever scarring

For the ones who make it alive

I am now called the Winter Drowning

I've been gifted with a second life
