Emotive Language

If she passed, would mine break?
Would there be any display
or curtain's not even close
of being drawn?
would the body shake,
what about the legs, would they tremble?

Fear of loss, would that play
an important role
or the recollection of neglect,
Foil grief's solo performance

No water work display
a sigh followed by smile's farewell
could the reaction of "Oh well"
be considered a heartless act?

Not a dropp will fall, but will contemplate
while a smile appears
although it's never seemed like it
these words goodbye
also mean that I'm going to miss you
