It Can't, It Won't

My hands try to reach you
But they never get there
I always fall back
I leave you.
For what I know,
I am wrong
You really are okay.

It’s what you said
“I’m okay.”
I have to believe it
But do you want me to?

Let me ask you
And tell me the truth
Because it won’t get better
Unless you want it better
It can’t.
It won’t.
