Freeze

Cold sensations crawling up your spine

 In the middle of the night

I stick out my tongue.

The icy air hits my flesh

And my tongue gets hard as steel.

 

I feel my limbs 

Collapse and fold.

All i can do

Is stifle a "Help..."

 

I tread carefully to the stair,

Hoping someone's there

But naught 

Just a draft

That stiffens my bones.

 

I crawl back to bed,

Close my eyes

And wait for day 

To break this ice.

This sounds like a very cold place to be. It kind of feels that way here now at 21 degrees farenheit, we are 11 degrees below the freezing point as I write this! Great description of how the cold can feel.

The words grip with icy cold!
