I am a sponge
To the suffering
Of others
Willfully
Sinfully
I will drink away your pain
I lick the hurt from my lips
But there is a stain
Growing ever larger
A hole
Deep in my soul
I give all I can
And strive not to take
I was a hurricane
Now all I feel
Is soft love and dull pain
I am fertilizer
Deep in the soil
Decaying
Nourishing others
By depriving myself
Stitching together torn souls
In exchange for my own
