FINE

Don't worry about me

I smile through these tears

Why can't you see

I've been doing it all these years



My heart grows cold by the second

I feel you shred my heart

I know you're just checking

To see how it will start



How I will mend back into one

But I don't move as I smile

I remain still, shocked and shunned

Longing to run that mile



But the tears they run instead

As I feel the pain inside

You continue to shred

Apart my love and pride
