People keep asking me if I'm alright, As if that'll lessen the bite As if that'll help me sleep at night. Are you okay? "I'm great" But your gait Seems off I'll hide it with a little cough I'll avoid And try and fill the void I'll do all it takes So what if it's fake? I'll smile for her sake It was going to happen, No if's or but's But help me someone It hurts If it was within my power I'd keep her in a tower Made of ivory, A place where she wouldn't worry, A place where she'd be at ease A place with no one else to please. I'd give her everything she'd need Confine her, just to have her freed But despite all my greed All I can say to her "Godspeed"
