I’m almost certainly sure that a night with empathy changed my life,

I sat with my back against the wall and stared into an empty abyss,

Silence filled the room but I did not notice,

God forbid I needed a change of pace and a little space,

Then I look to my side and loneliness announces its unwanted presence,

I cannot engage, but the more the clock ticks, the faster my heart beats and the louder its hums gets, the more I feel like screaming,

A little light now cuts through the darkness,

The clock still ticks but only for it,

I look up to see that empathy has now left,

Empathy had no empathy for me..
