I sit here, idly wondering
and the worry’s seeping in
over things I cannot change
and people that no longer matter
But I can’t seem to shake it off
to lose that part of me
that cares far too much about
those I once felt close to
I wish I could learn to let go
harden my heart
and empty my head
But no, not really
That overactive empathy
is such an innate part of me
that will never leave
I just have to find a way
to focus all the care and concern
onto something worth it
and let the past just float away
There’s a reason they aren’t here
so leave them be where they belong
If only I could listen…
