Life of An Empath

I feel in colors
Red yellow blue and grey

As you approach me I feel my color shifting
What was once yellow is now orange

Your melancholy disposition intrigues me 
Weighing me down at the same time

As my color fades,
Yours slowly gets brighter

I am left rung out and damp
As you walk away smiling
