my heart is...
easily felt;

in absence of
easier words,
it's easy to see it.

my heart aches with
stupid ease, and
for stupid reasons.

i have a knack, of sorts,
for the hurtings and
achings of life;

for a lack of
better words,
i'm good at it;

perhaps because
i was born more prone
to empathy.

maybe because i just
am more used to 
feeling such hurts.

i was born, i guess,
pathologically,
pathetically,
in pathos.
