Heart of Stone

Normally it would take me
A couple of months or so,
To eventually rid my conscience
Of the memories of you.

It used to take me forever,
About a year or two,
To heal from the pain of having
My heart shatter into countless pieces.

But, I have changed.

Now sadness doesn't
Pull on the same strings,
Grief doesn't bellow
In my soul as it used to.

Heartbreak is nothing more now
Than an afterthought,
An "ok I guess",
A "meh you weren't worth it".

And that's.... what saddens me more than anything.

It pains me to no longer feel pain,
It hurts me to no longer feel hurt,
It's almost as if...
I've gone numb from the pain.

Maybe that's it;
We all do eventually
Go numb.

Because you cannot break a heart
That's already
