Zombie Love

Drawn out to feel
Unfelt,
Blown up high,
Let’s spill
And get liquefied.

It’s time to fill the shattered glass tonight.
Bleed out and become mine. 

It burns, the way you touch me.
Your fingertips comb my corpse…
Gently, you scratch the surface on fire.

Could we burn, 
Burn in our fire?
Spoken from your smile,
So meek, 
You know…

It’s time to lose all control. 
Zombie love through soulless hugs and…

Dandelions grow on the ground above us. 
Covering us, 
It holds our core. 
Should we decay… 

We’ll have our tomb…
Let’s rest at last,
Like before. 
You’d hold me…

Forever,
 Embers burn like endless hell. 
What’s that? 
You’re mad…

Again, 
The children sleep in the cauldron. 
You never ate them.
Why did you eat them? 

Now that I’m dead, 
Why am I still with you?
