One Day

"One day," he said,
But I didn't believe it.
He said it until it was stuck in my head,
But somehow, for me, it just didn't fit.

"It'll get better," he lies,
I still didn't want to stay.
He didn't even listen to my why's,
He just tried to help me find a way.

"Keep your head up," he sighed,
But I still let my head fall.
He asked and I lied,
I wasn't feeling 'fine' at all.

"You're so strong," he told me,
But that wasn't true.
I was hoping he'd see,
I wish my lies were see-through.

"Keep holding on," he smiled,
But I just couldn't do this.
I haven't been happy since I was child,
Oh, how I miss that bliss.

"Thank you," I whispered,
Suddenly my heart felt light.
That was the last time I was ever heard,
The day everything was finally alright.
