onto the frozen lake

Winds howled in a cruel voice
Announcing the arrival of the cold

Ravens scattered above the shaking pines
Black dots splattered on a white world

Cracks hounded her barefooted steps
Drawing jagged lines on slippery ice

Spiderwebbing under her--
A fly caught in the trap

The world shook and she's falling...
Falling... falling… into the dark

Cold hands wrapped around her throat
Screams swallowed by the void

Snowflakes swam in her lungs
A landscape of frozen breaths

She spoke in bloodied words
The world is white no more
