At night I sit all alone and stare up
at the sky.
I see the stars and wonder now
if it was just a lie.
You came down here with big
intentions and stole my heart instead.
And now you're gone and I don't
know where.
For all I know you're dead.
Our people here don't understand
the good that you could do.
They fear the power and the change
that will be forced from you.
At night I sit all alone and stare up
at the sky.
Will you return and love me back
or is this just goodbye.

This poem was thought of after seeing a preview for the 1951 movie, “The Day The Earth Stood Still”. The movie is a classic and if you haven't seen it, and it's about an alien who lands on earth to warn us humans that we need to change. I won't say that a romance was formed but care for all involved was strong.
Thank you for reading and I recommend seeing the movie if you haven't already.
