The End

This is the end, and any second I'll cease to be. As I lay here, I wonder if you're proud of me. My thin frame collapsed to a heap on the floor. Then I see your hand reaching out beyond heaven's door. I look up, and there you are, shining so bright You tell me I'll be alright. You clasp your grip in mine, you say you love me and I know, And together we walk off into the snow.

Very surprise ending. Until the last line I thought the topic was death, not snow.

It is about death. The ending is about going 'home' to the cold embrace of mortality, but with your loved one who had passed on.
