She watched out the window at the cloud filled sky.
She felt her heart growing warmer at the nearing snow fall.
She could picture it all in her distant thoughts.
Children awakening from their sleep to find a snow covered land.
People shoveling their blanketed driveways.
Parents out playing in the snow with the ones they love.
A fragile smile seeped onto her thin lips.
Would she make it to the first snow fall?
She wondered to herself many a night about that.
The fact was she was growing weaker with every passing day.
Her body was in mint condition though.
For it wasn’t her body that was failing her.
It was her mind.
Her mind, soul, and heart.
They were near their breaking point.
The past events were beginning to take their toll on her.
Like a pound of bricks piled day by day on a fragile kitten.
It was a matter of time before the bricks claimed their victim.
The only thing she wanted now was to see snow for the last time.
The white blanket of cold that would surround her for its final time.
A white winter was all she needed.
Hope, joy, happiness.
It was all gone.
All because of her own foolishness.
Crystal tears were what she cried in the dead of night.
Clutching her blanket to her cold being.
Praying for the break of dawn.
Night was her worst enemy.
For night is when her thoughts began to shift.
Memories came flooding back in the quiet of the dark.
Hate, regret, sadness.
It was all she had.
How she wished it would all end.
So would she make it until the first white flake?
She prayed she would.
It was all she wanted.
