Almost every emotion that I once had, is now gone.
It is as if feeling is something that I have never done.
I cannot remember the last time I truly cried,
my tears only fall to fiction, when my favourite characters have died.
I can hardly say that I still know fear,
I have been scared, but I have not dreaded for a whole year.
Death passes me with ease, as it always has.
Why am I so calm? Am I just a heartless ass?
Sympathy? I can still feel it, can't I?
Instead of an empathic cry, do I sigh?
Love then? Losing it would be a crime.
But why do I feel that I can reject it at anytime?
I really do wonder
How long should I ponder?
What happened to my emotions?
What was it that stopped my inner motions?
Is this what it means to become an adult?
Or did my loneliness create this result?

Emotions?
