Frozen
Frozen, to the bone
Burn all that’s around to survive
A freeze that shouldn’t of shut us down
Frozen darkness
Hours on end
Freezing cold
Freezing cold
Tapping a person’s soul
Searching for strength
Hours upon hours
Digging for courage
Freezing in the dark
Electricity, water, food, everything of need evaporates
Never knowing when relief will arrive,
Despair grows
Deepens into memories for tomorrow
Cold, brittle bones break into
Piling up, alongside the ill planning of others,
who,
beyond the shallow halls watch from afar
While families toss childhood dreams to the flames
to melt away the ice
The loss is immeasurable
The cost is astronomical
Frozen
