Disclaimer: I do not own the Invader Zim characters and I got the idea fromt he poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.

Author's note: It doesnt quite follow the show, but it was an English assignment, its kinda cute so I wanted to share it xD


The Invader

I stand staring at the night sky, something hovering caught my eye.
My heart is now caught in a wild and manic spree.
As I watched the ship come closer, praying that it be no poser,
I'll find it in exposure, not to let it entrance me.
I'll find the new fowund life and then they'll finally believe me.
How can I just let him be?

I will watch him now, forever, never thinking he is clever.
I see stirring, movement ahead, just behind the tall oak tree.
I can see him very clear now, muttering soft I take a vow,
I try to speak, but forget how. He just looks so gosh darn free.
I will capture, keep him all for my life to be free.
He wants me to let him be.

He leaves me there to stand alone, as I reach to find my phone.
He walks away with his robotic little friend.
Before he leaves I must ask him what his name is, he says "It's Zim."
Now my future looks much less grim, as I watch him leave with glee.
I decide to let him be.

He is now my one obsession, I will fight to gain possession
Of this being that every day I see.
I have not a single regret, ever since the dark night we met,
He has become my little pet, my very own mighty key.
To my existance he engaged the mighty key.
I am glad I let him be.


Author's note2: If you ever read the poem, you could tell it takes a lot of work to write similarly... all the syllable-count patterns, and the rhyme scheme.... he was a very very genious and brilliant man.... I only wish I was as tallented.
