I asked
If you were okay
You said yes.
And you smiled.
Class ended.
I asked again
If you were okay
You said yes.
And smiled again.
Class ended.
For the last time,
I asked
Are you okay?
You looked at me,
I remember it too clearly,
The words that flowed from your mouth
Were simple
Yet painful,
"You need to stop,"
That's what you told me.
You almost shouted,
Your tone was full of anger.
Your voice raised.
From that moment on,
I never looked at you the same.
Nor will I ever.
For you are not as pure as I used to see you,
No, you are far worse than I thought.
I cannot keep it going.
And I refuse to lie.
Stop smiling and tell me the truth,
What is wrong?
What the hell is wrong?!
