frail empathy

know this, the dream is coming true,
frailness of empathy returns to you

but you fail to see it coming into light
shining without fail deep within true

could you ever pay mind to the thunder
to turn around and let day into night

let the cares of others fail away
and live you own that you've accrued

tell me does it feel right like this?
to touch what you abhor and hide from

embracing the world that you suppressed
that which is on the tip of your tongue

and you know, it comes like a lovers kiss
forever is when it shall come to be

know it will end, you can lay it to rest
when you care for yourself first, alone.

Dedication /Inspiration:
for those who ignore self and take care of others, to bizzarre extent, negating the care of oneself.
