A black and white plain
Full of smoke and silence
A lonely existence with no one to talk to.

Walking until my feet fell off
Yelling until my lungs exploded
Holding myself in an attempt to escape
The icy air around me.

As quickly as I was alone,
You appeared

In a motionless heap of your former self

I kicked and screamed and cried
As your soul slept and body withered
Into a pile of ash that was swept away
With every exhale that came from me
