January wolves stalk her shivering heart;
bitter ice-fangs sink into feverish skin.
Frost devours slowly, succinctly, shamelessly;
yet the howling tossed chains around her
paper-thin limbs and dragged her down.

Arctic icebound lips quivering,
silver eyelashes fluttering emptily,
alabaster fingertips reaching out;
frenzied yet frozen and fractured.

"Drowning," she whispers in a winter song,
and places her mouth upon snow-dusted fur.
"Blood freezing in these frostbitten veins."

And then the pack of aurorean wolves bolt away,
leaving her smiling in the blizzard of humanity.

Freedom.
I like this. I like it a lot.

It just came to me in the midst of everyone panicking during school because we're going to be getting a major blizzard. We're getting out at eleven. In half an hour. Fuck yeah it's nap time all afternoon.

But I freaking like this.

And now that I've read it over, I know why I wrote it, and how it relates to me.

I just wish my writer's block would go away when I want to write stories rather than crappy poetry.
