Zombie

Listen
Such a pretty young thing
Nightingale
With broken wings
She sings
Unhappy song
He carries her along
And does she see how beautiful she is?
Everywhere
Everywhere a beautiful zombie
Unassuming princess
Say yes
She rips herself from limb to limb
Hiding behind him
She watches for the world to set
Trapped in a hair net
And does she feel adored by everyone?
All around
All around a natural beauty
Ending from the sunlight
Not quite
(And does she see how beautiful she is?)
She perches on a windowsill
Holding her breath until
Drum roll please
