If you haven’t been following my poetry series; here’s what you missed so far
Lila wept and pleaded with Jay
To call his men off
But he refused and said
Aliens would take over earth
He wouldn’t listen to reason
Lila said they were peaceful travellers
Her parents fled the house
They stopped when they spotted Lila
At the same time a memory appeared
That hadn’t been there before
This is how her parents died
Otherwise they might have escaped
They were easier to shoot
Standing on one spot calling her name
She called out in response
Urging them to run, but of course
They would never leave her
So she watched them get gunned down
Then Jay held onto Lila
Not the way he had
The first time they kissed
Or when he’d held her lovingly
This was harsh and cruel
And his eyes filled with anger
I’m still me, Lila claimed
Alien scum, he snapped
You lied to me and infiltrated
Our mission, he accused
I actually felt something for an alien
Now I feel violated and dirty
