Eulogy for Zombies

I woke up today

And I thought about you,

About all the old times

And the shit we'd do.

Life's not the same

When things change so fast,

And I go through the day

Reminiscing on the past.



Can you tell me

What i need to know?

Can you tell me from here,

Where do I go?



...I called your house

'Fore I remembered you weren't there,

Hung up the phone,

And had to fight back the tears.

When you left this place,

You didnt say goodbye.

[There was] no time to call

Or leave a reason why.



I hate you for leaving

But I miss you like hell.

Yeah, I'm angry at you,

But I hope you're doing well...

Wherever you are,

Whatever you do,

Are you thinking about me

Like I'm thinking about you?



...Why did you have to go?

Can you tell me...

Where you're at

And why I couldn't go?...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Originally, this pieces of this were for someone who was not dead, but who had "runaway" from me.  Later, after experiencing a death, I found the feelings similar enough to encorporate those pieces into this...whole.  BTW, in case its not obvious (sometimes I don't notice when something is not) the zombie is the speaker, or really, those left behind in the wake of a death or loss.
