Lost


I’m okay, I’m just tired

Just tired

Just tired of pretending

That I’m okay, happy even

That I don’t spend all of my time

            Thinking about you,

            What you would do if

            If you were still here

            If life was fair

            If fate wasn’t cruel

That breathing doesn’t hurt
