fifty two

last winter you were fine,
your eyes had blue
that didn't look cold and hollow.

you were almost as fine
Before i got a
little glimpse
of your cracked smile
when i turned for a good-bye

you were okay maybe,
just okay as i say
you were.

you didn't fight me to say a no.

I thought you would
make me believe
i was wrong.

And you didn't,
just then i know.

you were okay.
just a no before it
were you.

and all the no's
before your smile,
happy, cheery
words were dry
and that was you.

lifeless soul
pretending
a fake hello.
