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.
