Pretending that you're fine isn't just self harm.
You put on a smirk like you don't even care and lilt your voice just right.
He's watching and wondering if he's the only one who's dying of loneliness.
If there's something wrong with him.
And if anyone cares.
It's not your duty, no,
to make the world go round but
if your answer's ever been yes
to would you save someone if you can
You've made a fucking liar of yourself yet again
(the smirk was the first. Well, probably not.)
Congratulations, though.
No one's seen through you.
But he's dying of loneliness
And so are you.
