Cold sickened marrow
scraps of flesh draping bone
dark hallowed rib cage
no organs
no heart
no vital signs of life

WAKE UP!

...a heart beat...

slight
small beat
still
no heat
no
repeat
find
the beat

the phalanges creak
the feet tweak

flesh takes shape
hair cloaks the scalp
colour begins to flourish

nerves start to twitch
and feet begin to itch

the eyes roll forward
the lips purse
sounds buzzes in the ears

a chill creeps down the spine
I refuse to stay dead anymore
and walk among the unliving

It's time to break free
and live life the way it should be
alive

Definitely one of the best ones I've seen on here. I love that you're not forcing the normal structures as most people do. Good imagery! smile

It's better than most- well-written, I mean- but honestly? I really have seen it before. 3/5
