Empathetic Reasoning
I met him in the height of life, snagged day one… damn those eyes.
I could pretend I didn't know what he was, but the truth is I saw a need for love.
I saw a bit of the same pain In the tone of his voice that escapes mine when I am at my low.
I felt a need to be his… even if only for a moment… I wanted to hold him in my heart and breathe life back into what he'd lost.
Instead he gave me back my smile… the one I thought to be dead and gone.
I'd never laughed so hard as I did when alone with him in my thoughts.
Often I'm asked why I fall so easily...so hard…
Always my reply, I see the good that hides away in minds.
I want to be angry, want to hide myself away, punch holes in the wall…
Reality is that doesn't take...anything away.
Not the love that remains, not the pain that I carry in my pocket as a keepsake.
Sacrificing parts of myself for a chance at something different.
Always the same thing… same reasons…
