I'm Fine

"I'm fine" you say but who can know,
What's really going on below.
Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are you joyful? Are you mad?

You say you're fine, what does that mean,
Good? Bad? Or something in between.
I cannot tell what's behind your eyes,
When you hide it with the words "I'm fine"

You tell me not to worry much,
"I'm fine" you say in such a rush,
That my heart goes wild with worry for you,
What can you mean. Are you glad or blue.

"I'm fine" those words now cut me deep,
"I'm fine" and now I cannot sleep
"I'm fine" I worry and I dread.
"I'm fine" "I know, that's what you said"

These words will haunt my every thought,
They make communication stop.
I cannot help but sense a lie,
When someone tell me "oh, I'm fine"
