Cycle of Empaphy
The emotions you feel seep into me.
The ideas you share sway me.
I hope that you see it impacts me greatly.
I am no longer just me.
The ideas you share sway me.
I now believe what you believe.
I am no longer just me
Now that I see what you see.
I now believe what you believe.
We will see how long this lasts.
Now that I see what you see
My feelings are in the past.
We will see how long this lasts.
When I talk to someone new
My feelings are in the past.
New information to sort through.
When I talk to someone new
I begin to see their side.
New information to sort through,
Does this mean I lied?
I begin to see their side.
Their reasoning makes sense.
Does this mean I lied?
I begin to feel tense.
Their reasoning makes sense.
I find no flaws with that.
I begin to feel tense.
Where is my head at?
I find no flaws with that.
Then you look at me,
Where is my head at?
Where does my heart want to be?
Then you look at me,
I am chaotic and confused.
Where does my heart want to be?
I feel withdrawn and used.
I am chaotic and confused.
I know you both mean well.
I feel withdrawn and used,
My mind is a living hell.
I know you both mean well.
I see each different side.
My mind is a living hell.
My emotions can’t decide.
I see each different side.
The emotions you feel seep into me.
My emotions can’t decide.
I hope you see it impacts me greatly.
