I'd been reading some Fatal Frame fanfiction the other day, and stumbled across a poem in this format. Muses then decided they wanted to try their hand at it - this is the result. Enjoy!


Fallout

That lying bastard, horrid bastard, how dare he come on me to call!
for I don't want him, I don't need him, I don't know this man at all
he's used my heart, he's used my name, he's used my trust in which to hide
leaving me broken, bitterly broken, counting up the ways he lied

And now he's sorry, oh so sorry, won't I please forgive his lies?
for he had reasons, damn good reasons, for playing me along the ride
well I'm so sorry, oh so sorry, but I'm afraid this cannot be
for those that use me, dare abuse me, have no place inside of me

I'd been waiting, always waiting, desperate for my phone to ring
to hear your voice, your lilting laughter to breathe life beneath my weary wings
were you laughing in the shadows underneath my crying eyes
as I wept at your displacement, were you gloating in your Lies?

I used to think you were a God, a god of justice, law, and Truth
but now I see twas all illusion, illusion of a super sleuth
you couldn't tell me, your one Best Friend, keeper of secrets throughout time
yet you told Heiji, this stranger Heiji, the fallout of a blackmail crime?

Could you not trust me? Could you not speak? Could you not believe, have faith in me?
for actions are telling, terribly telling, more so than words you must agree
actions have reactions, reactions have actions: Newton's Law declares it true
and so with your lies all brought to life, to our friendship I shall bid adieu

Now please get packing -don't be slacking!- get your body from my door
for I don't know you, never knew you, and I won't see your face no more
I have things to do, many things to see, true friends on which to give my time
so please Stranger, yes, you Stranger, why don't you find another crime?


Slightly bitter, but how would you react if you'd found out your best friend had been lying to you for all this time, yet some stranger knew everything? I know I wouldn't take it very well.
