How dare you tell me you're 'feeling okay'
when you're fighting back tears every second of the day?
How dare you say that you're 'doing alright'
if you need all sorts of pills just to sleep at night?
How dare your answer, when I ask, is 'everything's fine'
while you bleed from your hidden cuts the whole damn time?
How dare you make me think you trust me with your truths and lies
if in reality you think I only care for my pride?
How dare you trick me into thinking your heart's safe and sound
when your soul is falling farther as we watch the clouds?
How dare you nod when I ask if you're happy on this earth
as you silently wish that you had died in birth?
How dare you smile in a way that makes me want to smile, too
if there's a constant numbing feeling stuck inside of you?
How dare you even think of lying to my face each day
if the most of my desires is to keep you safe?
How dare you try push me back so that you fall alone
when I don't want to save myself, I want to save us both?
