Frozen

Where are you when I am in need? Where were you as you walked past me? Scraps of food from trash cans I partake. The wind blows through as the cold penetrates. As I shiver on the steps of an abandoned Inn. I cover up in a tarp, so tired, I can never win. I am never safe on the streets of the night. The rustling noise suddenly made me frightened. The noise fades away, leaving me alone. The weather changes as it begins to snow. I could not stay warm as the wind started to blow. I sat up, grabbed my matches, and lit one, watching it glow. Shivering, I huddled close to the match's meager heat. As the night wore on, she felt her fingers and toes freeze. The weather increased as she ran out of the last match to light. The next day, the child was found frozen during the cold night.
