Liam Mcdaid Poet Free verse

Time Bomb

Twist the truth 
in what I say 
Tick ,tick it is a matter of time 
Hiding the truth 

With each movement tick ,tick 
Getting closer
to the final countdown 
Tick ,tick the pressure
 
It is building 
Getting closer
to the truth tick, tick 
Saved by the bell
 
I did not explode 
Biting my tongue 
words held at bay
You would not like 
what I have to say 

It would strip 
you to the bare bone 
Your ugly lies 
When the ticking stops 
Nasty words,
nasty deeds 
Will have nasty 
consequences 

I hold my tongue 
as its not me 
Your coloured coded lies 
they hurt deep 
Hacking away at my brain 
Your ugly words 
releasing the pressure 
The release of you 

So that I do not explode 
I never dropped 
the bombshell 
You did 
All the time 
I was sitting 
on a time bomb 

I sat and watched you 
Explode into lies 
Only now 
I found the truth
