Three Million Steps

One step,
Two steps,
Three million steps.
I never meant for life to end like this.
The cold cuts through bone, like a frozen ice shard.
Lie on the ground thinking, "This is too hard!"
Never once have I longed for warmth like this.
Try distract myself, but think of summer bliss.
Inside of my eyelids, its all that I see.
As two arms take me home and warmth welcomes me.
