"Fine," written January 4, 2001  

No!
It can't be true
It's only gossip- small town's gossip
	right?
There's no way they're right
It's only a rumor
You're fine
FINE, do you hear me
FINE
Don't make me cry over you
I'd say I love you
But you wouldn't believe
It ain't true love
But it sure damn is enough
To tell me you're fine.
Fine.
Okay.
Healthy.
The same person you always were
But if I truly believed that
Why does my heart sing so?
Don't do this to me
You've got to be okay.
Don't leave me
What would I do without your efforts
That always cheer me up?
What would I do without you
	to love
To spill my heart out to
NO! No! NO! NO!
You're perfectly healthy
Everything's all right
Damn it, boy you will survive
Nothing's wrong with you
NOTHING
Perfectly healthy
There's got to be a reasonable explanation
	quit denying
	don't fucking tell me what to do
	i'll deny if I want to
	besides he's fine
So baby tell me
We'll laugh about this someday
Please please please
Say it ain't true
You won't leave me that way
Do anything you want
But don't break my heart with death
