Death After Life

The icy, burning hands of death
Slowly wrap my throat.
Nothing left I can sayeth
To dispel this frightful coat.

The cold- it cuts, in me, straight through
Down to my core most bones,
Grasping me with naught to do
While the wind just wails and moans.

The freeze filters through my veins
And penetrates my heart.
I cannot fight now, and it wins;
Things slowly become dark.

A hurting freeze that did burn
Leaves as I fall asleep.
For life, now, I'll no longer yearn,
Nor will they so much as weep.

There's nothing left but this cold dark-
No joy nor retributed strife.
I beg you to my words please mark:
There is only death after life.
I feel the morbid sneaking back in
Bringing me death with every small whim.
They say I have been doomed
Because death will consume
Thoughts, hopes, dreams.
Not one seems
To see my inner turmoil-
Thoughts like bile, tastes like oil.
Decay inside.
Come for a ride.
See my world-
All twisted, morphed, curled.
Slipping, falling, so close- far.
Weakening, sleeping, smelling dark.
Cold pulling
Ice forming
Blood slowing
Sleep warming
Losing, snoozing,
Oh well: End.
