Waiting for the emergency services

Halfway  lost,my love combined with dread
I  could not sustain life, yet feared his death
He fell, I could not raise him to his bed
Halfway  lost,my love was nearer  dread
I covered his cold body with a spread
For three hours he  lay  like frozen breath
At great cost,my love  held his deep dread
I  could just sustain life ,yet near preyed death
