hysteria

chills run down

the ridge of my back

and as swiftly as can be

the foyer becomes bleak

colder then my soul

and darker then the 

darkest hours of 

the arctic

and just like that

i am cold

stone cold

I seriously really like this! The first stanza is my favorite. Creates a cold, dark, chilling feel to it - probably exactly what you were going for I'd say. "and as swiftly as can be the foyer becomes bleak" is probably the highlight of this poem - great line!
