The Rock That Never Breaks

Cold stony heart of mine
The rock that never breaks

I’ve shown no tears from death
Not even alone
No feelings just thoughts

A pit of nothing in the way of emotion
Just curiosity and desire for alternative possibilities 
When life is no more

Emotionless to the world’s eyes
Does not mean I don’t understand
It’s just not shown in the predictable way

Although I know there may be a time
When my life may change and I will show my grief with resisting tears
