Empathy
by Monique LouwPain, my old friend.
How I will miss you
when this life comes to an end.
Without you,
would I care
if I heard a child cry
if I saw the spark of life take flight
into death's endless sky?
Without you
ennui
without you
I would not see
without you
I could not be
Pain, my old friend
How I wish
I did not need so much,
to feel your touch
to understand

And WELCOME to Pathetic! Good to have you here |
