My Girlfriend, The Zombie by:Ryan Griffin

Last month I dumped my girlfriend

I think I broke her heart

I just needed space from her embrace

If not a whole new start.

 

Her love was good, her love was strong

But alas it was too much

With her around, it wore me down

Just too affectionate and such

 

I hate the constant holding hands

Displays of public affection

And the only kiss that was pure bliss

Was done to my erection.

 

But I digress, I am a jerk

I used her for the sex

But it's not okay, the constant way

She sends me all those texts!

 

At first it was annoying

The notes, the calls, the texts.

But then I'd see her following me

What would this girl do next?

 

I knew I had to do something

Just not sure what I could

So for one night, I did invite

Her for a walk down by the woods

 

We just walked and talked awhile

But she just wouldn’t see

The more I tried, the more denied

That we weren’t meant to be.

 

And only when I blacked out

Did I finally feel success.

Which led me here, to which I fear

Is something I must confess….

 

Last night I killed my girlfriend

I buried her in the woods,

At least this way should keep her at bay

This time, I hope, for good.

 

I enjoyed almost a week

Of a peaceful happy life

Til late in June, under the moon

One hot and hazy night.

 

I was just out for a walk

Simply enjoying the night

When guess what wound up from the ground

And sure gave me a fright!

 

My girlfriend stood before me

I couldn’t believe my sight.

For she wasn’t dead, but back instead

And prepared to make things right.

 

Her clothes were torn and tattered

She was covered in dirt and mud

So I took my knife and took her life

(Again!) Till she was soaked in her own blood.

 

This time I didn’t want her coming back

So I tied her up real good

Then weighed her down so she would drown

In the lake and stay dead like she should.

 

But this time was not as peaceful

For in my mind was fear

That she would wake up from the lake

And yet once again be here.



Well lo’ behold, three days passed

Before she did come back

My mortal brain could not explain

Why such laws of nature were out of whack.

 

She was a dirty, bloody, scary sight

Soaked from head to toe

And I could not conceive what she perceived

To be love as we all know.

 

She was sorry that she died

And left me alone for days

But she was here to calm my fear

And make me happy in all ways

 

She said she figured out

Just what she was doing wrong

Then softly kissed my hand and wrist

It was the same old dance and song.

 

Then she bit into my flesh

I couldn’t believe my eyes

She pushed me down upon the ground

And hopped onto my thighs.

 

My life was flashing before me

I felt dizzy from all the blood

Then she licked her lips and rocked her hips

As I died there in the mud.

 

I awoke some time later

I’m really not sure why

But somehow it seems beyond my dreams

In death no longer did we die.

 

My zombie girlfriend said she killed me

So that we would always be

Husband and wife in the afterlife

For all eternity.

 

Gee…





Lucky me.
