The Empath

Post by WiccanWitch »

I feel your pain.
Though you may not even feel it yet
Though you may not even know you have pain
I hurt for you
Deep inside my body
Deep inside my soul
It uproots my reality
It cuts me deeply

What a terrible gift it is
To know what you don't yet know
To suffer what you will suffer
What a terrible honor it is to feel your pain

I feel your loss
I feel it for you
Before you even know you have lost
Before you even understand what you lost
It tears a void in my heart
It pierces through my soul

What a burdensome gift it is to know what you do not yet know.
To lose what you have not yet lost
What a burdensome honor it is to feel what you do not yet feel.

I feel your joy
I know what it means even before you know.
I feel the elation
It brightens my mind
It uplifts my soul
It makes me laugh
It makes me cry

What an exquisite gift it is to know what you do not yet know.
To weep for joy that you have not yet found.
What an exquisite gift it is to feel what you do not yet feel.

You do not know I hurt
You do not know I have lost
You do not know I have wept tears of joy
All for you
Behind my stoic face
Behind these steadfast hands
I have felt it all for you

What an amazing gift it is
...to feel
