Just a little poem thing about "zombies". Also, a big thank you to Laceration Gravityy for giving me a hand with this- I needed it! ;D
Also, I apologise for the random lines everywhere- it was the only way I could find to separate the different paragraphs, 'cause this thing doesn't understand the concept of missing a line...
"I'm scared".
Dusk,
That's when the Fear comes out to play.
It rips,
It tears,
We wait.
"Don't be".
His reassurance,
It never lasts,
As now the day melts into night,
Fiery red to dusty grey
And the Fear,
Its presence looms-
Slashes my heart.
An open wound
I have no time to heal.
We take shelter
In the shadow of what was once a home,
Now a wreckage.
Safety, no more.
And we watch
As the Fear,
It creeps
Out from beneath the cobwebs of daylight.
It seeks us.
It finds us.
Smash!
The Fear, it rips the door down.
We cower.
It can taste us already,
Staggered breath on lifeless tongues.
And that loft hatch,
Our only protection,
Won't last forever.
All we ever did was run,
Our skin
Blistered by the sun.
It's funny
To think we'll never run again
As now the Fear blunders beneath us,
Smashing, snarling, seething.
Shards of teeth,
Flakes of flesh.
Hungry.
The loft hatch bursts.
"It's over now".
Cuticles claw wood,
Encrusted with blood.
Bones snap.
A rotting stench
Captures my lungs.
Vomit climbs my throat.
The Fear climbs through the loft hatch.
"Not just yet…"
He squeezes my hand.
Our eyes catch.
He smiles.
I forget that I was ever scared at all.
