Zombie

Perhaps you’re not dead
Every remote connection to you
to us
brings you back to life
Perhaps you’re not dead
Because with every memory I feel pain
What could have been.
What actually happened.
What I could have done to avoid it.
Perhaps you’re not dead
And, you’re not
Although you should be dead in my heart
Because the us no longer exists
And the us will no longer be
It’s just a recording in my mind
A wish without fruition
Perhaps you’re not dead
Yet, ceased your breath, your heartbeat
