He’s gone
Ten years it took me, chasing him.
I never had friends as a kid.
Because of Zim.
I never went to a dance, I never went on a date.
Because I was chasing Zim.
I never went to college, I never got a steady job.
They wanted to know why I would show up late with bruises.
I havn’t seen my father in months.
I was away, saving Earth.
I have a police record as thick as my arm.
Because I was the one left at the battlefield,
Broken and bloody,
I was accused of vandalism, and fighting.
But he is gone now.
Buried in his own base,
The shattered remains
of his stupid green house
covering his labs forever.
No one believes me.
They don’t think he was an alien.
They won’t dig up the remains.
Because he covered his tracks,
Even before he died.
I got in trouble for that,
For blowing up his alien house.
What an explosion, though.
I’m alone, now, because of Zim.
A white room is the only home I have, now,
Because of Zim.
They’re going to kill me in the morning.
I’m going to die young.
Because of Zim.
