Letter To A Friend...
Dear friend:
You always wonder how I get into your head,
understand the messages you wrote, as I read.
There is no easy answer to your query
but I will try to explain what it is in theory.
I am like a short wave radio tuning in to the emotions,
an empath, I can FEEL your every word and sensation.
Literally it is like scanning the channels,
I feel peoples’ sentiments, some clear, others feint and shallow,
it can get hard at times to block the chaos out,
yet at other times it is useful without a doubt.
A gift or a curse, which, I do not know,
but I use it to help those who need hope.
I feel you my friend, you are like a beacon of sorrow,
a loneliness, endless, like no tomorrow.
It cut me to the quick so I tuned in, it was you,
now, I am quite intuned, feeling the changes in your moods.
I hear your heart when it aches,
your mind when it threatens, insanity will overtake,
but like all things in nature it is not absolute,
it comes and goes depending on the strength of feelings in you.
Magic, mystery or science so deep,
call it what you like, that is the secret I keep.
Many, many people do not understand,
all I can say is, I am what I am.
Empath, witch, demon or angel, you decide,
like a prism it is just another facet of the me inside.
I feel you my friend, it is not a trick,
and will until you cut the uniting link,
and when you no longer need me there,
I will become a memory of your time of despair.
