The Truth About The Lies Poem by Alfred Ramos

Never did believe in goodbyes
I thought I never would see you again
Let me tell you the truth about the lies
I will share them with you my friend
I knew I had to come clean
I didn't mean to be mean
I guess I took it to an extreme
Believing it would make me look supreme
The truth is I wanted more than you could give
So I took what I could so I could live
I circumvented the truth with tasty lies
So that they could be swallowed like whole pies
In the beginning the lies were but truths turned inside out
They were used to persuade me living in doubt
I wrapped them up in pretty paper and lace
Knowing in your heart you would find a place
I twisted them and dangled them like carrots on a stick
Disguised them till they resembled some slick magic trick
You see when the path you chose is blocked
And the door to your future is locked
There is no hope left so you turn to lies
Believing someone will buy your alibis
I learned that jumping into an ocean would not wash away the lies
They cling to you like leaches, sucking all the light, like when the sunset dies
Sooner than later it would be my downfall
Like a crash test dummy hitting the wall
Lies scattered like chards of glass all over the lot
I've become that lost puzzle piece unable to find its spot
So lost in all this confusion
Was my take of an illusion
That what came out of my mouth
Was everything that came out going south
So if you ever come this way again
You’ll know hell is where I’ve been
I know it will be hard to believe all that’s been said
Maybe you prefer that I was dead
The new me will be hard to recognize
And that’s the truth about the lies
