Zombie

This is me

My life is here

Wandering the desert

In search of care

This world is barren

Miles bare

Empty heart’s broken

With radiant glare

Waking each day

The tedious way

That zombie limp

Their brains decayed

This world goes on

Like clockwork we work

One step closer to despair

All their eyes sewn

To see what is really there

Greed replacing empathy

In everything we share

My eyes seem to wander

And my mind ceases

The words escape me

But I utter them to her

Drawn into shapes

The nature of being a man

In the ruins of love

Where the future is far

I can’t help but wonder

Why is it I stare?

Am I all alone?

And what causes this fear?

I’m spreading thin

Air rises like needles

My mouth opens

And they come out to her

And drag her in

Is it always the same?

Dangerous, fateful

Or a never-ending game
