Falling I: A Free-Verse Poem

So what do we do?
What do we do?
As the world goes on
One's heart feels like it has stopped
The other's world keeps spinning
As if nothing has occurred
None has lost
One has gained
One has stopped
He has gained
She has lost
Onlookers see, but do not know
What her world looks like now
His world turns, her heart stops
She has no choice but to smile
As if her world was still spinning
And laugh as if her heart has not stopped
But onlookers see, they do not know
He does not know
And that's okay
