Empathy
tears for MVR
her words
dripping hurt
like tears
from my eyes
to have read them
between the lines of
the love I have felt
in this naïve heart of mine
as if the wounds were
accounted for
on a balance sheet
I keep hidden
as if loving were
keeping two sets of books
and the faith in love
both seen and unseen
was more than an exercise
but a live fire experience
where I ignore all pleas
to keep my head down
