I dreamt of zombies today.
They do not give or receive love.
In ignorant bliss they live.
Attentively I listen with care to all you say.
Your feminine words I combine with circumstance to comprehend.
I dissect the meanings and that which you emphasize.
Until I understand what you hide beneath your skin.
Through clinched teeth and constant pain I say it is better this way.
I dreamt of zombies today.
They do not give or receive love.
In ignorant bliss they live.
Tangled are the relationships we weave.
Twisted and knotted and half understood.
We all desire more but settle for less.
Our hearts always lean to one side or another.
I dreamt of zombies today.
