roobish--part 3

tried to mask it
but she caught me
hid it from the rest of the world
but couldn't from her
and its then i realise
my eyes are the giveaways
swollen from the previous night's
and deadly non reflective of the day's life
i could fool everyone else
but i couldn't fool her
even if i didn't tell her the story
she could just tell the jist of it
she never asked for the entire story
and i couldn't give it to her
but that couldn't stop me either
to break down in front of her
something i always wanted to save her from..

and all these times
there was just this one voice that
kept ringing in my ears
and i hate to say
that i failed you, M
coz i still ain't 'alright'
and i don't know how to take care..
