Withering Rose

Losing someone during a zombie apocalypse

For years we lived in a lustful glee

You were my sun keeping darkness from me 

You were my light that allowed me to see

Until there came an era of virulent disease

Billions afflicted in the first few weeks

Quickly followed by death in massive streaks

We were foolish to believe

We were above those we deemed weak

When the malady struck you

It came without warning

The symptoms hit hard, life became forlorning

As infection spread your body became so hot

Hair fell out in clumps and your eyes grew blood red

From the inside out your body began to rot

Deep down we both knew death was near

But optimistically we persevered

Until the dawn came when you were no longer here

Your body lay motionless and cold

I felt drained by the discovery

Hollowed and wearily old

Not wanting to say bye, I laid by your side

Yearning to reverse this deathly tide

Consumed by grief I fell into a dream of lies

Where eternally we lived

Thriving on a passionate high

So enthralled with my fantasy

I failed to hear you sigh

Nor did I see the moment you opened your eyes

But I felt your teeth as they found my throat

And I allowed you to consume me

As a world without you is a weight I can not tote

If you can remember, you are the love I chose

Forever and always

My beautiful rose
