“You’ll be okay”

You said as you walked away

Leaving me to wonder

If that was your hope

Or an order.

In 3 months,

You’ll be expecting an

“I’m great!” 

In response to 

A meaningless

“How have you been?”

Just to satisfy your

Non-existent pile of guilt

A reassurance

That you did nothing wrong

Yes, I have to be okay.

Because I get it

no one wants

To be the guy

Who broke the poor girl’s heart,

Carrying around the remains

Of her sadness

Like a heavy knapsack

On your back

And you just want to go 

far away.

And no one wants 

to be the girl

Who kept plunging brick

After brick

Into the bag

Just so he can feel 

The weight of it all.

Yes, I have to be okay.

So that when

You are asked about me

You can say

Oh she’s fine, doing quite well

Instead of 

Oh my god she’s a mess

It’s just sad-

No.

You’re right. I’m okay.

Let your conscience

be eased

By my well-being.

You don’t have 

To look back

Don’t have to think

About the consequences

Of breaking a heart

Of shattering a person

I am okay

So that you 

Won’t feel bad

So that you’ll be okay too

Even as I’m broken

I’m still thinking 

about you
