Compassionate soul 

I can feel 

your bruises on my skin 

the aching pulse of your thoughts 

deafeningly loud in my skull 

every ounce of pain you've ever felt 

coursing through my veins 

from a million miles away 


The burden of empathy 

is like being tortured in reverse 

sometimes I feel every agonizing detail 

all at once 

while you feel absolutely nothing 

and you even seem to enjoy 

seeing the agony on my face 

knowing that you're the one who caused it
