Liar
When she left,
I said I was ok.
When my friends asked how I was,
I said I was ok.
When she ended it over the phone,
I said it was ok.
When my mom asked how my grades were,
I said they were ok.
When I went on my first date since her,
I said I wasn’t getting ahead of myself.
When it was all over,
I said I was ok.
When my dog started to limp,
I said he’d be ok.
When it didn’t get better,
….
When my coworkers asked me how I was,
I said I’m ok.
When the customers asked me how my day was,
I said pretty good.
When my mom said our dog might have lymphoma,
I said I understood.
When my mom said we may have to put him down,
I didn’t cry.
When I touched his fur,
When I felt him breathe,
When I cried in my car,
When I realized I wasn’t ok.
When I decided I couldn’t lie anymore,
I said ok.
