Mortal coil

By VampireMandy

Mortal coil

 Breath in a breath of freshly toiled dirt
bring it in like a newly dug grave
leave no tomb unturned
and life un lived   
for you breathe where the undead live

tiptoe oh so softy
make no sound
for they may grab a bite to eat 
or your neck to chew 
be
very
very
quite indeed 
for you don't wont to wake the undead
that lay underneath your feet 
remember your mortal coil 
remember your family
for ones you tread where the undead lay 
your life as you now it
is long past
and
not long lived
for your mortal coil is all that they will leave you
