This Empath In Me

This empath in me
Is embedded in you
Baby, everlastingly,
I feel you effortlessly too

I will hold you close…
I’m your empath nose to nose
Chest to chest, eye to eye, no lie
I will be there, that, I can’t deny 

I know when you’re tomato-mad red
Know you’re baby-sky blue instead
Know you’re yellow…
Your true colors show

Stay by my side
Abide in me,
Even when I’m in dismay
Life is a strife-bumpy ride

I know when you’re any color in the spectrum,
The color wheel reveals rainbows of random feelings of numb
I hear your heart beat out of your chest, a drum
I hear in the dead of night substantially…
Your talking is equal to your many-a-silent cry
Fall apart and I will catch you…I felt you and your rue
I will mend your tears and tears with or without a clue

I sleep awake in your arms tonight and all day the next day
I have empathy and sympathy combined with all of you
I know you like you know yourself and God knows more, okay?
Free me and you and maybe, I and you will be happy, true

Can’t sleep hours after midnight without you near
It’s almost 3 AM already and I am sick of being lonesome
I fear you won’t be around anymore, oh my dear,
I love you so much, for I’m an empath and hurt unlike some
It’s so cruel, yet incredible that I feel for you so much 
I act as a fool, but I have knowledge above many, beyond the all-aspects-of-life-without-strife touch

Have no fear, dear
Be not afraid here
Shed no tear, want to trade your sorrow for my satisfaction?
Here’s shade to shelter you from the sweltering sun that leaves you with sweat and hesitation
 
With scars,
You’re beautiful 

An empath like me…this empath in me…won’t leave me be…
Also, so overwhelmed with bittersweet emotions and tremendously terrible trauma
Our hearts beat as one strong soul, darling of vital serenity
Maybe it was due to past, darksome drama…emotionally and mentally touched by ya 

I'm afraid I scared you out of the blue
With me, being an empath and all, still holding onto non-psychopathic, heartfelt, passionate bliss
You're a huge impact in me too, too true
Miss you and your kiss, once a light, now an abyss that fell into the shadows, mirroring hopelessness and thrilling ghosts of loneliness

Encouraged by purity of positivity and rescue royal radiance inside
Discouraged by negativity and swallowed up by tribulation's tide
Pros and cons fill my day with dreary, dismal dismay and I pray you earn peace of mind today
And, undoubtedly, it kills me inside, yet makes me feel alive with joyous gladness day by day
Disheartened for quite an odd reason,
Still unknown to me season to season
Crows and doves flutter awing, swarming around me in suave sways, 
Hovering around these delightful, drifting days in wild, haunting days
Took me fourteen days to feel fantastic as I float above my feet again endlessly
Pour your liquid of lament into my eyes and I will cry with you wholeheartedly 
Listen…with your heart's desire of helpfulness
Take heart…sailor of oceanic art and a marvelous master of majestic, magical, melodic music
Glisten…drown away the despair and distress
Mend me as I fall apart, rising from the start and share empathy with me, extremely therapeutic
