I'm fine

"I'm fine"

A common lie
The smile the masks the tears underneath
The brave face, with the person trembling in fear underneath that mask

She says "I'm fine"
It's easier than breaking into pieces
She would rather pretend to be fine than accept that her world is in chaos
The person who turned her world into chaos still remains the only person that could fix it
She lies and says "I'm fine"

It softens the blow of the reality that the past 6 years was all for nothing
She thought they were happy
Deep down she knew something was wrong
She wanted to fix it
It is all she had known for 6 years

She wasn't going to let it all go to waste
All that time and all those scarifies couldn't be for nothing
It had to mean something
There had to be a greater purpose for them to be together

She couldn't save it
It was too broken to be mended
They had grown worlds apart in so little time
The memories of the past began to leak through her eyes
She stopped herself
She couldn't let herself feel this pain
She was afraid her heart couldn't take it
It was already in pieces
So she looked up, smiled, and said "I'm fine"
