Zombie

by Peter Williams   Oct 21, 2005


It's driving me crazy,
The way that I feel.
Mended hearts bleed,
As old wounds are opened.
History repeats,
Though no one understands.
Open my chest to reveal my heart,
Broken,
Shattered,
But still beating,
Beating with no sound.
What happens next?
Wouldn't you like to know?
The devil laughs,
As I begin to choke.
God mocks me...
It gives him something to do.
A hand on my shoulder,
Then it disappears.
Somehow...
This feels familiar.
Maybe it was in a dream,
Or in a past life,
Where I walked a path that led me nowhere.
It's just a roll of the dice,
And my fate is decided.
Life is a game that I will never win,
But always play.
So take this heart of mine,
And place it on the table.
A needle in one hand,
A thread in the other...
Repair my broken heart,
And lead me out the door,
So I can live to see tomorrow,
And perhaps a couple days more.
My heart will break again,
This I know...
But it will be fixed again and again,
Then it will grow stronger...
That way I can live a little longer,
And when I'm dead my heart will keep beating.
Sing a sad song for me,
But don't shed a tear,
For death...
Is nothing to fear.
Let's make life worth living,
For we only go through it once.
Close your eyes,
And follow me to the sweet abyss.
That friendly face will be the only thing that I'll miss.
Eyes wide open,
Mouth sewn shut,
Waking up in a grave with no name,
Is this hell?
Or heaven?
In the end...
Isn't it all the same?
What did I do to deserve this?
No point in crying,
I have no more tears.
My body feels num,
But not my heart,
It still beats,
It always will.
My brain is wasted,
I won't miss it.
My soul has left me,
I won't need it.
With each breath,
The lungs I have aren't there,
But something still takes in the air.
I lived and then I died,
This fire in my heart never lied.
I arose from the ground...
The tombstone made no sound,
It had no name,
Nor goodbyes.
An unmarked grave,
Made just for me.
When I died,
I had nothing to live for.
When I was alive,
I had something to die for.
