Empathy
I might not be a healer, but I do have words—
Comforting words, soothing words,
Perhaps lies,
But certainly not disguise.
If you come to me, I will put on your skin.
I don't claim I feel like you do,
But I will hold your hand and listen to you,
And never pause you until you pause.
When clouds camouflage over your head,
Certainly I will light a candle.
I will scatter clouds with my palm
And never leave you until you leave.
If your stars do not align the way you wish,
I will align myself with you
And wait for your stars to fall in place
And never stop embracing you until you stop.
