Bee-Bop (an old episode of 'The Outer Limits')

I took shape
And moved into your world
I was curious about humans
And about love

I tried to break up your homelife
With newly discovered charm
Because I needed offspring
Your wife caught me feeding

Transforming back into myself
It frightened her
Deep and black
It must have been illusion

But when she found me
Talking with my drones
I had no choice
But to release them

To do my bidding
To bring her death
And at last we were alone
Just you and I

I made my move
In a long white dress
I thought you'd like me that way
But you turned me away

With a declaration of devotion
For your wife
And all that it stood for
And so I fell away from you

Off the balcony and back into myself
You'll never see me again
But I have learned about love
It stings…
