Zombie

Zombie


so bloody tired
with my heart in my hands
crawling t’wards love
when I can’t even stand
can’t keep my head on
can’t even think
no way to breathe
no lips to drink
feeling no pain
numbed to your touch
my skin does crawl
with vermin and such
hear a harsh noise
pitiful shriek
my victim’s caught wind
of my dark putrid reek
shuffling along
through fields filled with corn
alone in this world
dead and forlorn
