• the snow carpets the ground
    unmarked by footprints
    unblemished white
    as far as you can see
    so pretty
    but so hard to touch
    so cold
    you touch it
    and it hurts
    it burns
    you start walking
    but when you turn to go back
    your footprints are gone
    it starts snowing agian
    you get disoriented
    you don't know where you are
    you start getting colder
    and colder
    to the point
    where you feel as if your overheating
    you start to remove your coat
    but something in the back of your mind
    tells you not to
    so you don't
    but your getting scared
    the snow is swirling aroung you
    you can't see anything
    you start to cry
    you sit curled up
    willing it to stop snowing
    but it doesn't
    it never stops
    you start to give up hope
    you can feel the life in you
    freezing away
    quicker and quicker
    your about to let it go
    when you hear a voice
    calling your name
    then you see something
    a light
    a beacon
    but you still can't find the will
    to get up and go to it
    you feel something
    tugging at your arm
    and then it stops
    and you feel
    something standing you up
    and taking your hand
    leading you to the light
    you think;
    so this is the famose light
    i always thought it'd be brighter
    then you feel warmth
    and fall into sleep
    when you wake up
    there's somebody there
    they're holding your hand
    and crying
    when they see your eyes open
    they say
    thank god
    i thought i'd lost you
    and you think back
    and you relize
    you were saved
    when you didn't have the
    will to save yourself
    somebody cared enough
    to help and try to save you.
