My Pants Are On Fire

Are you okay?
As usual,
I lied.
As much as I wanted
to be honest,
I couldn't be.
Are you fine now?
I didn't want to upset you.
Because
how the hell
was I supposed
to explain that
I filled my body
with a little too many narcotics
instead
of letting you
fill my mind
with beautiful ideas?
