Zombie Me (pantoum)

I am the girl crawling for peaceful sleep
You are the zombie crawling for flesh
Slowly walking around in snow deep
Hunting any human that smells fresh

I am the zombie crawling for flesh
With rotten hands and hungry eyes
Hunting any human that smells fresh
You are the girl staying up late on chilly nights

With icy hands and bloodshot eyes
Writing wrong answers on your math worksheet
I am the zombie staying up late on chilly nights
Wiggling my toes and relaxing my feet

Writing wrong answers on my math worksheet
I am the girl leaping out of the grave
Wiggling my toes and unfreezing my feet
From the earth that feels safe

You are the zombie leaping out of the grave
The zombie jumping into the purple sky
High above the earth that feels safe
Like a broken bird learning to fly

I am the girl jumping into the blue sky
Flapping my arms up and down
Like a broken bird learning to fly
Away from this home, away from this town

Flapping your arms up and down
You are the zombie sliding through the moors
Away from this home, away from this town
I am the zombie who never does her chores

I am the girl sliding through the moors
Being chased by an angry puppy
Because I am the girl who never does her chores
And my daddy just happens to be a crazy puppy

Being chased by an angry puppy
I am fleeing the cemetery with my broken leg in hand
My daddy is the crazy puppy
Who’s too much for a zombie to withstand

I am fleeing the cemetery with my broken leg in hand
Hoping there’s a pay phone out here in the wood
An angry daddy is too much for me to withstand
I am the girl walking with my head hidden under a hood

Hoping there’s a pay phone out here in the wood
I am the zombie isolated from the human world
Walking with my head hidden under a hood
Longing for the blood and flesh of a human girl

I am the girl lost from the human world
No one bothers to look for me; no one wants me back
Longing for the blood and flesh of a human girl
I can chew on anything and treat it as a healthy snack

No one bothers to look for me; no one wants me back
I am the girl who’s tired of being half dead and half alive
I can chew on anything and treat it as a healthy snack
I am the zombie roaming this earth with an unsettled mind

I am the girl who’s tired of being half dead and half alive
The human me stumbles through the wood with a body frozen by the cold
The zombie me roams this earth with an unsettled mind
I am the dead girl lost in the wood. I am the zombie buried alive by the snow.

The human me stumbles through the wood with a body frozen by the cold
Slowly walking around in snow deep
I am the zombie lost in the wood. I am the girl buried alive by the snow.
I am the girl crawling for peaceful sleep
