Death: Icy Retreat

I struggle on
I can not see
I feel so lost
Inside of me
A wall of white
Relentless thing
What kind of hope
Can this wall bring
The snow, it falls
Unceasingly
It doesn't care
It's only me
I feel so cold
All hope is gone
I've been out here
For so long
Ice is crawling
Through my skin
Sight is leaving
It's growing dim
Keep on walking
Just do not stop
If I lay down
All hope is lost
Shiver and yawn
I must sit down
Just stay awhile
Here on the ground
I will get up
Eventually
Just need some warmth
Inside of me
My eyes are closed
My lips are blue
My hands are freezing
What can I do
I fall asleep
To escape the cold
I'll never grow up
I'll Never grow old
