The Heartless Man

Black hole
Chasm
Abyss
Full of love,
Beside a man who's heartless.

A man which no emotion flows,
Who no compassion shows.
Despite vital water and care,
No affection grows.

To him all pleasure is lost.
All he can do is count the cost.
All warmth has fled,
He knows only frost.

The man is a zombie,
Living, but dead internally.
What can revive him?
What can restore vitality?
