I'm Fine

I'm fine.  Those words are the worst to hear from you.  So short, so distant.


When I hear them coming from your mouth I can feel my lungs caving.  My heart crumbling.  My brain gets fuzzy with memories running through my head.  And it makes me lightheaded searching for the point when it all changed.  When you started lying.  When I started lying.




Because I can tell you aren't fine. 
I don't think anyone really is.


But it's fine.  I'm fine.
