Watching Through The Snow Poem by kaylem 479

I had a dream once of not so long ago
Of a girl standing there in the middle of the snow
White flakes covered every corner of my view
But I always found her, as if she was someone I knew

She seemed so familiar with her bloodshot eyes
She looked like she had been crying her entire life
Her skin was so pale with red wounds and scars
I could feel her pain and suffering even from afar

My whole body ached as if desperate to calm her
I didn’t want to just stand there and watch her suffer
I wanted to be by her to dry all her tears
I wanted to tell her there was nothing she should ever fear

But move I could not, not a single step
And words couldn’t escape, not even my breath
I desperately struggled to be by her side
Thinking that if I didn’t she might have to die

I wanted to cry and my chest felt so tight
Then the girl faded away, away from my sight
Suddenly I could move again but it was now too late
I wasn’t able to save the girl from her terrible fate

Then, I fell on the ground feeling an awful pain
It felt electric cursing through my veins
Then there was blood in my now pale complexion
Only then had I known I was looking through my reflection.
