I told you how I felt You see me cry inside. I just gave you my heart in the palm of your hand. I thought you don't care what I was thinking about. You didn't have a reaction, but now I think it's fine. How would you imagine how bad I was feeling? How would you know what I needed to know? I can't explain what I really feel. You can't see what I really see. It wasn't your fault, Now I'm so embarrassed. You just pay the price for non-existent empathy.

Empathy.
I told you how I felt You see me cry inside. I just gave you my heart in the palm of your hand. I thought you don't care what I was thinking about. You didn't have a reaction, but now I think it's fine. How would you imagine how bad I was feeling? How would you know what I needed to know? I can't explain what I really feel. You can't see what I really see. It wasn't your fault, Now I'm so embarrassed. You just pay the price for non-existent empathy.
Empathy doesn't exist if we cannot experience things from another perspective. It's an illusion, it's just an attempt at empathy.
