Searching For Empathy

Contributed by Another_Dimension on Tuesday, 25th May 2004 @ 06:52:15 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



I appear so strong
How wrong could one fool be
Its been to long since
I had even a small dose of empathy
But what does that mean to me?
My existence that is
And the resistance that lives inside my aching heart
Before the bleeding starts
I can feel the darkness grow
And before i know where its heading
I find its there already
What kind of pain moves steady through our souls
Digging small holes
I think it knows where to go
Where to hit, and where to kill it slow
Where is the empathy?
Who can relate to me?
I need a soul-mate
When Im sinking they know
What Im thinking flows through both our minds
The one who can read behind the lines
The one with the seed to grow the vines
Around my soul to keep it down and together
Who takes no role of a knowing clown
And whether or not its a bow i take
Some how i cant mistake
The feeling of hate towards my soul
It is so cold
and empty

So frost bitten
and lonely

Forgotten
and full of holes

But where is my empathy?

Where is my sweet empathy!?

I fear it has abandoned me..
It seemed to do so easily
so whats left for me to see

Come back to me sweet empathy

This is heartbreaking.... it is so honest and melancholy.

My existence that is
And the resistance that lives inside my aching heart

Wow. *sigh*

You won't find it on this planet anymore. Maybe it is whirling around in the universe waiting for a time it will be acknowledged again.
