Tanka Time: Lost Eden

It's been awhile now...
I've never felt so alone.
What have I become?
A zombie? Unfit to love?
Rotting and covered in blood?

I long for one touch
That can dry my un-shed tears;
That can save my dead,
un-beating heart from this fate....
That can spare me this self hate.

So I wait.... for what?
Love? Or to feast on raw flesh?
And while I wait my
thoughts take flight like fleeting hope
devoured by the harsh night....
