The Game

The wrapper once surrounding the box
Snatch it away with the bright red bow
Storm out in the cold with nothing but socks
Dig your way through the crystal clear snow

Feel the numbness dance on your frame
Find a knife to hold up and take aim
Stab the chest to light up a flame
More than one should be playing this game

Follow the light but ignore the main rule
Don’t try to escape or you’ll be the fool
The breeze cuts your body and through
Stop screaming, nobody can hear you

Once the snow says its goodbye 
You return home with a body damaged
The cold has turned your soft skin dry
And your innocence has forever vanished

You have become one with the frost
Ice has hidden your path with no trace 
Perhaps, you might feel a tiny bit lost
Just take a bath and forget it took place

Sorry, but you’ve lost this game of two
Naturally, nobody will ever believe you
Snowflakes that marked you with a review
Will now never leave your field of view
