Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
I write poetry about different things. This is one of my favorite poems that I've written.
THE FENCE
Away
A paradise in my mind
Long ago, in a time
When
I could go beyond this fence
But I cannot, not ever since
They came
And trapped me here, behind these walls
With endless hunger and grabbing claws
Their fingers raw from tearing at
The chain-link fence that holds them back
Their desperate moans in pleading tones that draw me ever closer to
The Fence
Safe
They tell us we are safe in here
But I feel it drawing ever near to
Me
Most claim their sentience is gone
But they are just wolves, gnawing on
The fragile line 'twixt life and death
And, what is in between
Something that I alone have seen
Intelligence, a tiny spark
A flickering candle in the dark
That draws me like a simple moth
Luring me closer to
The Fence
We're dead
We cannot, will not win this war
I refuse to fight it anymore
And now I know, I am sure
I'll go
They await me, the slow of though
To whom my life may count for not
I feel
The kiss of eternal sleep
Of infected teeth in my arm
As the virus starts to creep
I know that I will not be harmed
The uninfected shun me now
My undeath now belongs beyond
The Fence
I wait
For the prize so close, the human meat
I try so hard to start the breach
That will result in fresh-killed flesh
Yet, they hide behind the silver mesh
But there
A girl, with eyes full of pain
Looking out and seeking gain
Outside the fence, where we dwell
She looks at me, and I can tell
She hears my moans, in pleading tones
And she draws ever closer to
The Fence
