If you say so

You said I was fine

I didn't really believe you

But I still gave a shrug and a smile

I don't think it went too far

 

Just a little stress

It's why I'm nausious

Why I lie awake every night

It'll pass by you said

 

You tell me how I feel and say it's no big deal

So why do I feel torn in two

Ripped to shreds by emotions

There's no way I'm actually OK

 

Discarded with absolution

A hesitated rejection

Finalized dismissal

Left out to rot

 

Are you broken like me

Is that why you don't want to see

This mess that I have made of me

Because my scars remind you of your own

 

The conflict continues

With what you say and what I feel

Either way you leave me

While I face this storm alone
