The Sudden Change

My heart, they say, has become cruel
Unbreakable just like a stone
No feelings of sadness
No feelings of happiness
No laughter
No moans 
My eyes, they claim, have become blind
They are no longer able to see
Not a piece of art
Not a broken heart 
Not a thing to touch
Not a thing to feel
And they wonder
Why the sudden change
Oh what fools
