Empathy

These empty cries that Echo into nothingness shout back empty thought, these words that flow  with sweet sorrow through a gentle breeze I caught, now clenched tight in my hand I hold the sorrow of someone's loss, I grow ponderous under these emotions,so back into the breeze I toss. My knees now in the dirt I look to the sky and scream "why"! for feeling this strangers sadness,I can only cry.
