We are
            moved
by the
lives of others
We are
             affected
by things that aren't
happening to us
We
        feel
emotions
we didn't
conjure
Our pain is
doubled,
tripled
&         intensified
Through the constant stream of
E m p a t h y
S y m p a t h y
Agony
But
without
it
there is no
                    love
And
without
                            love
what a
b o r i n g
u n f o r g i v i n g
world
we'd
exist
in
Drifting
                   lazily~
through our own
self pitty
Realizing
only
the
wetness
of the
rain
And
not giving a care
to the
                  life
it creates
Yellow roses
And tall willow trees

You are the rain in my heart
You fall with fear from your sky
I catch you gently on my tongue
You give life to my existence
**I need you to grow
You need me to matter
