You’re right, I said. I have, so far, been more
Inclined to
solitude than company.
My life: a
solo, not a symphony.
I found in
distant jealousy the core
Of what I
was. But when you chose to pour
The life
and soul of one who bleeds like me
Into my heart,
I found some empathy
Begin to
well within me. “Hmm. Before
“You say
another word, pay heed to this:
“If empathy
is what you seek, beware
“Of burning
out before you start to glow.
“Like love
can thrive and die before a kiss,
“A life’s
compassion can be hard to bear
“If borne too
fast. Now, watch the Healer grow.”
