Empath

Don't you see that you're suffocating me?
Don't you see you're slowly draining me?
I feel your anger and I feel your hurt.
Just one touch, now it's my heartbreak.

I give so much for you.
And what do you do?
You say filthy things about me.
But it's me that I'm questioning.

What did I do to hurt them?
How did I cause the end?
What could I have done differently?
Who was I really emptying?

I think I'm losing my mind.
Are you leaving me behind?
After everything I've done for you?
I think it could have been more too.

I'm sorry I didn't have more to offer.
I'm sorry I could do nothing, but suffer.
I tried so hard, but everyone's feelings took over.
I can not tell whose feelings belong to each other.

This makes it impossible to communicate.
I don't know where to begin to separate.
Someone help, I am in too deep.
No one can help, I slowly sink.
