Full of life, yet dead inside
Screaming now in silence
Stumbling as she glides
Dark with ambient brilliance
Arms raised in hopes of flight
Yet earthbound she remains
Shining with black delight
She hears blood inside your veins
Stepping closer to your side
Her dead heart starts to race
In you she will confide
Leaving you in disgrace
Full of life, yet dead inside
Her dead heart starts to race
Stepping closer to your side
Don’t linger in her embrace
In a list

Simple, graceful and horribly excellent. Haha, used an oxymoron their myself
Surely, when I added this to the list of oxymoron, I figured that the person who chose to wrote this one would surely write about zombies are something. This is one of the reasons I didn't want to put it on the list, but I decided after arguing with myself I would. Thank-you so much for proving me wrong, because, what I got out of this poem was a girl who acted happy, but inside felt somewhat suicidal? Thank-you so much for entering.

Thank you
So glad you got a suprise out of this one. I also thought of the zombie and vampire theme but this is what came out. Thanks for your kind words and encouragement.
