losing

a young boy with a big heart.
he cried for the characters in the movie,
for the animals that had died,
and for the trees who had lost their leaves.

as he grew older,
he began to feel bad for less,
watching deaths flood the screens on the news.
watching his own family fall apart no longer phased him.

that little boy from before was no where to be found.
a heartless soul took him away.
overpowered him.
killed him.

he looked around him,
at death and broken hearts,
with lifeless eyes.
he felt nothing.

what had happened,
to look at our world
and to no longer care,
to no longer feel?

what the hell happened?
-???
