F-I-N-E
Four simple letters
F-I-N-E
Four simple letters that tell the biggest lie
Are you okay?
Three simple words
Are you okay?
Three simple words that never end in truth
It's always the same question
And it's always the same answer
It's always the same lie
And it never gets better
But more questions surfaced
What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Why?
So more answers became lies
I'm just tired.
It's just a headache.
It's nothing, really.
But you saw through the mask
And you knew it was a lie
Because you played this game
One thousand more times
Though I restarted the game
You never stopped playing
You respawned every time
Until you came to the end, the truth being the prize
I'm sorry
Two simple words
I'm sorry
Two simple words that help resolve absolutely nothing
The words are empty
They don't have value anymore
The words are like the answer: over-used
They don't help anything
It's alright
One simple phrase
It's alright
One simple phrase that hides my disappointment
It symbolizes my hope being crushed
It is a reminder of why the lie exists
Because that's how it always ends
It is a reminder that no one can help
After the problem was revealed
Hope of you being able to help built
The puzzle was about to be solved
The sadness and loneliness, almost vanquished
But all that was said
Was I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But it's all alright
It's alright. Not because I thought you could help
Not because you were the only one that could make me happy
Not because I was left disappointed again
It's alright because
I am fine.
