A poem I wrote to my friend, online alias Lithium, when she was depressed.
I wish I could make everything fine,

Your hurt is my hurt, it's so true,

If only I could make your sun shine,

You may think I don't know but I do,



The life of an empath is full of pain,

Fires from your heart engulf my own,

From your wounds there's no gain,

Just the thought makes me moan,



My heart wants to yell and shout,

My soul can do nothing but cry,

To comfort you I want to reach out,

I am a sparrow crossing endless sky,



Your burden I can't bear for you my friend,

But I will bear it with you until the end,
