Vacant Rescue

Don't worry
you only had your life

And what ever sorrow or grief came to me
was not your fault

You see
you could only live your life
and although bound by love we were
you would never really understand
my life

We are alone
it is a hard fact

In the end we are all of us alone

No one else will ever feel
the way you feel

All they will have is an all-purpose word
In a list of words

But you will never feel as they do
and they will never feel like you

In the end we are all of us alone

And only by empathy can we commune
for any love, or any grief
any heart felt anguish
has no equal

it only has compassion with which to contemplate
