all talk

just some poem i wrote

"are you alright" you ask
and i look at you
"yeah, i'm fine"
i've never been one of those girls
those girls
those girls who want you to decipher
"i'm fine"
to mean
"i'm dying inside"
when i say i'm fine; i'm alright
i mean
i'm fine; i'm alright
i'm not sad
or happy
i'm managing not to cry
and getting by
but you're suspicious
you catch on
and eventually
we talk
and talk
and talk.
and between lines of dialogue
there is this silence
this heavy, heavy silence
likes the world would end if the silence was broken
but we knew we could end if it wasn't.
so we talk
and talk
and talk.
