Dead Winter

It's zero degrees in this desolate land, Frostbite over freeze, I can barely stand. I hear laughter and cries as I look left then right; There is no one in sight on this dead winter night. The darkness has fallen like a cascading avalanche; The few trees I see are barren, with no leaf on any branch. I heard footsteps behind me, yet I stand alone; Would anyone find me, or am I on my own? There is no phone, no gas station for miles around, Just this one winding dirt road and snow upon the ground. I cry out for help and there still is no answer; Can I make it out alive from this creepy nightmare? So fear stricken I begin to run frantic; I fall upon my face with frozen tears as I panic! I just want to scream out loud and lift my voice in anguish; Why me!? Why now!? I'm just ready to end this.... ©2014 Honestly JT
