Its cold out here,
Winter has come,
I sit out in front of the lake with some rum,
The water is frozen,
Solid I see,
Nothing but dead and ice covered trees,
Without thinking I step onto the ice,
I slide gently across with some fright,
I struggle to stand,
My heart beats loud,
I fall on my stomach near the center of the land,
I lay there terrified,
As the ice looks about to break,
Its cracking slowly,
I'm breathing hard,
I see the water beneath the hard,
I panic carefully,
Struggling to cry,
Then I hear someone call out my name and sigh,
Little girl how foolish you are,
They say it loud, They say it aloud,
I listen to that voice wondering who and why,
I turn my head slowly to see a man,
He grips tightly to a brick in his hand,
He counts to three slowly,
I make a prayer,
Then the brick hits the ice,
Sending me under with no air,
The water is freezing,
I cannot breath,
I struggle to swim,
But I drown unfree,
