Empathy

I tread softly around the room,
Turning off all the lights,
And when I got to the last one,
I closed my eyes,
The darkness descends upon me,
Like a candle snuffed out
You suffocate me with your silence
And I fall to the ground
Of this dark room,
One not unlike your heart.

I plead softly to your reason,
Hoping you'd hear my ardor,
But before I could say the last word,
You closed the door,
The light slowly fades away,
Like the ever familiar sunset
I am left crying for your pain
And you fall to the ground
Of this dark world,
One that I am living in too.
