I can hear the bones crackle,
I hear the pitiful moans.
I grasp tight on my pistol,
In the dark all alone.
~
They come from the shadows,
And they tear down my walls.
They follow my steps,
As I run down the halls.
~
I shoot as I tremble,
I keep them away.
With a cold dripping fear,
I keep them at bay.
~
They're crawling so closer,
I can't hold them off.
They grab and they gnaw me,
Please! Just please make it stop!!!
~
But you came along,
And you blew them to pieces.
Not a knight in white armor,
But you've still left me speechless.
~
We head down the stairs,
We have no time to waste.
We go as a pair,
To our inevitable fate.
~
The creatures become numerous,
Though the few that we shot through.
Before we go down,
I just wanted to tell you.
~
Though they scare me to death,
Though the terrors are rife.
Fighting zombies with you,
I had the time of my life.
I'd just like to thank [link] for dealing with my bullshit, and having to edit this over and over. Thanks Mel! You're awesome =)

Inspired by listening to "Long Live" and "Haunted" By Taylor Swift.
Over, and over, and over.
As well as playing Black Ops
Enjoy! =)

Necrophobia: The fear of dead things... Especially when they move

I've been told by a lot of people that the idea of "Zombies" doesn't come to them until the last stanza. Maybe I should give it a mention earlier in the poem? Also, it feels like there's something missing...
I also wonder if the fear really goes through in this...

O.O Amazing. The fear and anxiety come through the poem with ease. Leave it the way it is, it's great! And I thought of zombies after the first two lines (:
