• the buzz in my heart
• subsides long enough
• for me to ache
• with longing
• for the world we deserve

//

• years now
• it has been
• since hyper-empathy
• my old friend
• was around again

//

• its good to have them back
• its good to be back
• to have the ability to care
• about people in the way they deserve
• the way everyone does

//

• i am stronger now
• i can handle this pain
• maybe i can put that burning soul
• to rest
• let the embers kindle
• just for a bit.
