Love Zombie
I am just a Love Zombie
Existing not living
Lovers taking
Not giving
Leaving me an empty shell
Wandering aimlessly
From County to Country
Not knowing or caring
Where
Running Anywhere
Everywhere
Just to find another
dead end
You've touched me in a way
No man can ever
Cherry you are
Indeed a special friend
I know this in my dead heart
Our lips have not touched
But I feel you breathe life
Into me
By your very being
I'm not toxic
I'm just dead
Love murdered me
Under the guise
Of marriage
It was no fairytale
No horse and carriage
My spirit refused to die
And my fate taunted me
Until you appeared
To give love
One more try
And even if I die
At least I may be happy
Momentarily
For Cherry
I think you've crossed over
The road to me
Let's meet at the crossroads of Life
I no longer want to be
A Love Zombie
You've helped to
Set me free
