Heartbreak

I'm cold. I shiver, but I don't shake. I smile, but it's all fake. I never thought my heart would break. I've got nothing more for you to take. I'm numb. I think I'm sad, but I don't cry. I don't smile, but never wonder why. I don't even flinch when I hear you're nearby. But then I look at you, and I die. I'm gone. They always told me heartbreak wasn't real. That I'll be just fine, it's no big deal. Now my family cries, sitting down for a meal. They could have saved my life, but this thought they conceal.

Amber, thanks for participating in the contest. This poem is an "icicle to the heart", caused a shudder when I read it the first time.
