Promises

staring at a locked door
hoping they won't ask more
questions

laying in your unmade bed
replaying what went unsaid
forever

i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
really, i'm okay
i promise
that i'm not

placid eyes unchanged unmoved
personality quiet, so far removed
silent

you crave something to weep for
you feel you're weak for
not crying

i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
really, i'm okay
i promise
that i'm not

maybe i'm just little too empty
maybe i'm just not strong enough
maybe i'm just not letting it hit me
maybe we have the wrong kind of love

but i'm telling you

i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
i'm fine i'm fine i'm fine
really, i'm okay

i promise

that i'm not
