How? Poem by Tony Pitman

How is such little emotion possible?
Seemingly no response or reaction
Heart and mind in turmoil
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
Relationship shattered by pent up feelings
Expecting friendship to continue
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
So cold and unmoved by events
Almost as if heart not involved
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
Are they buried deep or non-existent?
Just mechanical robotic motion
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
Are they stirred but hidden from view?
Not exposed for abuse or ridicule
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
Is it life experience for survival?
Learned to pretend nothing can affect them?
Carry on as if nothing at all

How is such little emotion possible?
Is this the reason for not finding love?
Years of searching without success
Carry on as if nothing at all
