Elegy to empathy

The daylight fades.
I close my eyes.
This pains me more than you will know
I hold it inside.
This is the end of me.
I've become all I can bear to be.
This is that which I can't undo.
From me to you.
From me to you.
I'm sorry.
All empathy.
This is that which I can't undo.
This is my apology to you.
Your silence takes me whole.
I'm standing alone.
This is the end of me.
I've become all I can bear to be.
This is that which I can't undo.
This is my apology to you.
I'll break my word as you broke my heart.
I apologize for being everything you never wanted me to be
and so I stand here and scream
at those who made me be
for allowing me to live this fate.
This is my elegy.
He was a good man.
He was a simple quiet man.
He always kept to himself.
He always kept to himself.
Well he was a good man.
So much to understand.
He always kept to himself.
Why'd you keep to yourself?
This is my elegy.
