There are all these people, who love me.
and then there's you, whom I love.
The only one I really care about, whom I want to protect, to hold close always and care for.
I try to reach you,
to save you from drowning.
I dive in and give my all.
but I am the one gasping for air
while you have learnt to breathe
under water.
Being an empath and unable to help someone you love.
