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.
