I wanted to flee from their touch, but it held me close,
I wanted to run from their laughing eyes, dancing smiles, but they wouldn’t let me,
I didn’t want them to see my tears, to hear my sobs, witness my screams, but they didn’t care,

The snow fell,
But it rolled off their skin,
Melted,
They embraced it,
Drank it in,
But I?

It froze my arms at the mere graze,
My fingers lost feeling,
My toes were already blue,
My mind was still whirring, as my heart slowed to a stop,
The drops of ice encased me,
My body was unable to function,
I could still see them, loving, caring, living,
But I wasn’t there,
Invisible, to them
