Stars like pinpricks in my eyes,
the mist shackles about my ankles
as I walk through the field
I realize the cold on my lips,
licking the frosty air of the deepest night.
Breathing in my teeth hurt,
my hands would be blue if I
could see them
Icy is the wind that shocks my lungs
as I breathe in
and shiver.
The smell of the dying grass
in Winter's choking grasp,
The midnight sky like watery velvet
the snow shifting underneath,
feeling cool soak in through my
leather boots
chilling my feet.
As I walk through sentinel pines
quiet as snow softly begins to fly,
not so much seen as felt like fingers
on my flesh prompting a shudder
in my bones.
Silent like the grave I reach the hill
under my feet the angle change,
slowly ascending
beginning to shiver
feet sullen relenting
I crest the ridge as the horizon
turns green like lace around
a black cloaked sky.
The light rises and stings my eyes
squeezed shut by the sudden pain
shuddering through my mind.
Eternity has driven me mad
I tire of this earthly plane,
many centuries I have walked
through nights of many lands,
tonight I will depart
to end the gnawing loneliness
that with a death
forever breaks my heart.
I would have rather lived and died
a human life to spend it
with my love,
but to live on after death
wandering without
I'd rather not draw breath
and come dawn I will be gone.
For millenia I have drowned
in this endless sorrow,
I cannot live on alone and still
dream of a tomorrow
that like today
would be the same
my solitary existence that has
made me so deranged that I will die
the true death come daylight.
The horizon slowly turns from vermilion
to gold and then my flesh began
to burn, through the blinding pain
I hear a single scream
leave my throat.
A possible solution to endless torment.
