why does your smile make me feel like im burning alive?

why can i feel your sadness leaking from my eyes?

what's it called, when i feel what you show outside, inside?

what's it mean when i feel your emotions and mine?

is it referred pain?

is it an overly compassionate mind?

how does it make you feel when i cry?

how can you tell...when you're feeling me or you?

do you get that tightness in your chest?

do you ever think, "will this hurt less?"

what lives in the silence, you ask?

the truth?

trauma makes you emotional, is there anything to do?

you cry and you cry, until all the feels run through.

then wake up the next morning and say, "you know what? fuck you."
