Change of Heart

A change of pace poem about young love and the difficulties it comes with

Change of Heart

People always told me
you won't know what you have
until you've lost it.

I took the advice into account,
took every precautionary measure,
made sure losing you wasn't an option.

I changed for the better
when I never thought that was possible.
I realized a love that was true.

And then the unthinkable happened.
You changed too.

You became me
and I became you.

You stopped caring
while my feelings grew.

Your frostbitten heart turned black.
Mine shattered into blue.

And so, I must ask this.
A truthful answer is only fair.

What if I don't wake up tomorrow?
How would you handle the despair?

Would you show any signs of sorrow?
Would you even care?
