if i were a zombie

My wife and I are big fans of iZombie, and I thought it would be cute to write this poem for her. It is corny, graphic, and fun – I think!

Hope you all enjoy it!

If I were a zombie,
Would you still love me?
If knowing I have to eat brains,
To keep me from going insane,
Is part of my everyday diet,
Your feelings for me, would you try to fight it?

Would you be okay,
As I sit across from you eating an egg white/brain omelet?
Or would you find this a dismay,
Urging your innards to want to vomit?

If I were a zombie,
Would you still hug me?
Would you have it in your beating heart,
To challenge the saying ‘Til death do us part?
Or would your heart be persistent,
In not acknowledging my existence?

Would you still tell me you love me everyday?
And hold my hand, as cold as it is,
Overlooking the decay,
And still offer my lips a kiss?

If I were a zombie,
I hope you find it in your beating heart,
To push pause, rewind, and restart,
And find it in you to remember why it is you love me.
