Mists

It strangles you with dampened fingers,
'til there is not a breath left in your body.

It speaks its icy touch through your ears,
then you become deaf, wishing never to hear again.

It envelops you,
squeezing the pulse from your veins.

Its mouth closes over your breast and sucks the blood from your heart,
'til the last thump is in desperation to keep you alive.

Its scream sends chills to your marrow,
and you feel pathetic.

It blinds you as it tears your eyes from there sockets,
the pain immense,but you bear it.

You journeyed here,
and now you can't go back.
