Freezer Burnt

Broken Hope

Intensly gelid, shivering uncontrollably in a frozen hell,

As the meatlocker cold chills me to the core

Locked inside an icy room, among rows of hanging meat

Beef slabs on chrome metal hooks offer no warmth at all

My gooseflesh skin begins to cake with frost

Inhaling algid thinning air into my icy lungs

I scream for help, my breath turns to snow

No one hears me in these soundproof surroundings

As I pound my hands against glacial steel walls

My palm flesh instantly sticks to the frozen metal

The extreme freeze bonds me into the wall

I pull away, tearing off my skin in gruesome, panging strips

Now scorching, bloody pain in joined with the cold

This hurtful infridgate situation becomes inhumanly unbearable

I long for heat in any type of form

For flames I would give my soul

To be free of this frozen doom



It is my only concern, my wish, my hope

The deadly cold encloses and shrouds

As my desperate cries go unheard - go unheard

Fingers, toes, and limbs become rigidly numb

My blood slows to a cool, congealed flow

Inside this giant ice-chest, the cold nips and bites



The inclement conditions are no less than arctic

My entire body involuntarily curls as frostbite consumes

Frosty clumps of hair fall out and shatter to the floor

My scalp and face crack from the sub-arctic cold

Countless pieces of flesh brake off like broken eggshells

A plunging cold so brutal it actually burns

My lips, nose, and ears crackle, snap and bust

The digits on my hand - frozen

Skin turns dark blue

And purple as blood vessels chill

I bang my wintered arms together to induce circulation

My efforts split and fracture my frosted flesh, frozen into frigid claws

Blood streams from the cuts immediately turning to crimson rime

The lacerations become frozen gashes of red ice

This rigor winter atmosphere seeps deep into my being

The cruel freeze cuts to the nucleous of my corpus

My body temperature has dropped at an alarming rate

There is no doubt that this locker is my sepulcher
