Lyric Poem: Fact Turned Fiction

Fact Turned Fiction

I’ve never walked on a wire,
But I’ve been left hanging by a thread.
And my only problem is,
That I don’t know where to stop, or where to begin.

It’s all so clear in my head,
But what’s that saying?
My head feels like some sort of hell, hosting a house of horrors,
While I’m just a helpless hypochondriac, held in a hospital.
Anyway, all ailments aside,
I feel I’ve found few facts fit for further alliteration.
Than this small set of facts,
Of fact turned fiction.

It’s moment of truth, to those choking on lies.
It’s the moment in death where it all comes alive.
It’s a glance, turned a look, turned a smile, turned a kiss,
Turned a touch, turned a word, turned a lie, turned a miss.
Turned a stab, a stab straight to the heart.
But one cut is all it takes.

I expire, holding the wound,
Oh so tightly

Holding my breath, until my lungs wither to dust.
When I know full well that I’ve wasted my time,
As I’m wasting away.

All the things left unsaid, I'm rehearsing them.
And I can’t keep blotting them out,
Like ink spilled on paper.

I made an attempt,
The best I ever could,
To keep it all together,
As everything fell apart.
It’s hard to say you tried,
When you can’t look me in the eyes.
As these memories grow vague,
As too little turns too late.

As I'm left to dream forever,

Solely for my own sake.

Oh, my epidemic,
My favourite terminal disease,
I'm infected.
I wish this was my fault.
All these nights, without your presence,
I’m not comfortable in my skin.
Now, in your absence, I tremble.
Without the comforting warmth of that radiant glow,

The one that used to shine in your eyes,
I’m left to freeze in the cold.
And I desperately need to be warm.

These days, I can’t believe my eyes, let alone my mind.

Amidst an ocean of thought, the same thought emerges..
The past, what was left behind, in those nights,
Every night, I crumble to the ground,
With no foundation left to support this structure.

Believe I tried.

We’ve reached the end of the road,
And now there’s nowhere left to go.
