I'm Fine

We started out friends and all was well,

We were as thick as thieves, anyone could tell

We did everything together and he was my partner in crime,

But all was soon lost in two weeks time

Monday I trotted in, bursting with glee,

Tuesday I was quiet and so was he

Wednesday went in silence, not a word was said,

Thursday was the worst, no path lay ahead

I didn't want to think what Friday could come to,

When at last he approached me, on Thursday at 10:02

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern draping his face, 

"I'm fine", I replied, leaving no clues to trace

"No." He said, catching me off-guard, 

And my head shot up, my expression turning hard

Before he could reply I turned around and ran,

Without looking back, without giving him a chance 

Ever since I knew that I was to blame,

Because later when I tried, he decided to play my game

"I'm fine", was the last thing he'd said to me,

And now I know most definitely

That he's built his walls and so have I,

So just plaster a smile and say "I'm fine."
