i wait.

it feels as if
all of my organs are
slowly shutting down,

as if i am freezing to death
in the middle of nowhere
and all i can do is
fall asleep.

alone in the snow,
i close my eyes
and shudder
as another breath
traipses in and out
of my failing lungs.

my aching body begs me
to protect myself;
my mind screams at me
that i should know better --
but the survival instincts simply
aren’t kicking in.

it will all be over soon.
soon, i will be too cold
to feel any pain.

so i wait.
