My family died from rebels
everyone I knew,
I fought for revenge
hating the universe,
A new threat rises
that threatens humanity,
only to meet her
in my final days,
An alarm, a kiss
then an explosion
and finally nothing at all.
Decades later
I open my eyes,
the galaxy has changed
nothing is the same,
women and children now fight
for what is left,
I engrave my rifle
for the final fight,
now cornered
like an animal,
I see her face
this time it's real,
an army arrives
this time it's ours,
found a farm to
grow old together.
