Cold

    I'm unnerved by my lack of emotion
She's lying there on the floor
  and I feel nothing
Its only a cold…a headache…so why can’t she get up? Is she really as fragile as she is?

Another question nags at my mind as I go through the motions
  Following my father's orders as I run through the house
Could she be faking?....

NO

How can I even consider the possibility that she is?

I must dismiss any ludicrous ideas
but as I reject one idea
another immediately takes its place

Could they come together again for the sake of their daughter?
but once again the answer is no
and my hopes vanish again when they walk past each other without a word

I feel nothing, I had briefly worried for her
but it has vanished along with my hopes

But this is what really worries me

when did I become so cold?
