A wicked blessing

Talk to me, 

and I’ll talk to you; 

even though 

I am annoyed 

that you need me 

only when you are low. 

Empathy is a blessing. 

Come to me,

I’ll never turn you down; 

for I’ll swim 

to the Bermuda Triangle, 

so that you 

don’t drown. 

Empathy

it’s a wicked blessing. 

I will 

bring you back 

again and again

and again. 

And I will lose myself, 

because the empathetic:

they are sick, 

we save others 

and sabotage ourselves. 

Empathy 

it’s wicked.
