Empathy
empathy
our hearts twist in torment
over who is most deserving of it
the child washed up on a beach
or the bleeding teenager carrying
a secret that can never be told
it seems impossible to us
that we can give our kindness
to more than our arms can reach
to more than our eyes can see
but we are all ticking time bombs
of love, the explosion will come
and darkness cannot outlast a sun
as ferocious as a bleeding, human
heart
