You wake up
In a dream
Apocalypse coming your way
Zombies of all kinds
Enclosing
Swarming
Salivating
They aren't going for
Your brains
That's a myth
It's your heart they want
Everyone wants possession
Of another's heart
This raw urge
Is just more
To the point
You might say
How will you die?
It doesn't matter
You are one and the same
Zombies after human hearts
Humans after human affection
Same desperation
Same ruthlessness
Same obstacles
Someone always gets your prime
Victim
Or love
In the end we all get
Eaten by the zombie cheerleaders
