Twist of reality

 


Missed memories, unwritten diary pages,

mixed up thoughts, a twist of reality.

Faces that blur

into obscurity.

They were

not a part of this life's story.

But somehow you remember them.

You see the faded memories

they will forever be.

In a different life, a different story

with a different version of me.

One that hadn't heard the hum.

 

The cold feeling 

when you walk in a room

or the misremembered moments

when you swore

that things were different here before.

Memories that you remember to your core.

Now, not the same anymore.

Before you heard the hum

before the shadows started to come,

before the sound of your heart

started to drum.

 

Someone claims to know your face,

but you've never seen them before.

They swear they have seen you in this place, 

when you've never set foot inside the door.

Displaced time and twisted landscapes.

Make your heart race.

The hum has you

firmly rooted in place.

The hum doesn't give, it only takes,

every memory - the hum's to confiscate.

 

All the hugs you never had,

all those cold dead stares.

Empty lifeless shells

walking through

treacle thick air.

So many dreams

never to come true.

Yet so many 

nightmares lived through.

The hum drums them into you.

 

Those missed celebrations.

The connections,

the joyful recollections.

Not to be.

A different path for me.

Too many tears

for one man to take.

The hum inspires fear

whether asleep or awake.
