Zombie (Revamped)A Poem by Pale RoseA completely redone version of "Zombie". That one is still up for comparison, let me know what you think.
Previous Version This is a previous version of Zombie (Revamped). A cocked gun against my head My finger on the trigger Just an inch, half an inch And this life is gone One deep breath, one finger moves-- I stare down at this loaded death And feel better knowing One day, one twitch It could all go Away Light flashes off the metal Thin razor edge on my skin Just an inch, half an inch And this life is gone One sharp exhale, one hand moves-- I stare at the stainless razor And I feel better knowing One day, one flinch Would take it all Away Wind blows past my ear Feet right on the edge Just an inch, half an inch And this life is gone One deep breath, two feet move-- I go to get some Starbucks But I feel better knowing One day, one jump Can make it go Away But I know the truth: THE BULLET CRASHED THROUGH THE BLOOD GUSHED OUT I TUMBLED OVER INTO THE SKY
And my body's left to wonder why--
