I still can't talk about you in therapy
I hyperventilate, and it scares me.
I don't understand how us affects me
I always saw you as a safe place for me
I tried to be safe for you too,
But have realized how bad I am at
Comforting others, especially you.
I tried my hardest, but never felt correct
I'd cry and get frustrated
over the urge to protect.
I'm extremely empathetic,
I'll throw myself under the bus, it's pathetic
I feel everything you say,
I take on your emotions
and this seems to cause pain
But I don't know what to say
It just happens,
You share with me
And I feel everything
I try to convey my empathy
To help you feel okay,
All I wanted was to be there
Like you were always, for me
I think the best thing I can do is set you free.
