Reanimated

I heard your cries when you called my name
In the void all the way from the other side
I was released from the darkest corners
To return and be right by your side

But now they call me something else
Unholy so they say at the sight of me
And I thought love would conquer all
Unhallowed I am but this is my destiny

And though I would be cursed with a hunger
The chance was given to me to walk the earth
Now reanimated it’s I who calls your name
Deprived of your love I’m no longer worth

Go back to the shadows, they yell and scream
Like a bad dream when some take a shot
It’s not natural, I hear their insults and slurs
As my skin continues to fall and to rot

And all I know is this terrible emptiness
Without will the need to feed goes unopposed
And though I can no longer communicate
The humanity in me has decomposed

The stench and worms won’t leave me alone
Even though I’ve come out of the vortex
Still I’m ravenous with an abysmal desire
So I must eat flesh to help ease this hex

And what happens when I finally find you
Will your heart be filled with gladness or dread?
Will you be able to look into my decaying eyes?
And love me forever like your prayers said
