how do you care for someone without hurting as well?

There is something I'd like to tell you, and that is

'I admire your ability to love'

It's so tough seeing you hurt

when love evaporated from 

the very grasp of your palms

Slipped through your fingers, unnoticed

Till you turn them up and saw emptiness.

Watching you cry,

     Witnessing you hurt

          I have always wished I could 

                take it all away,

                     take it all away.

But sometimes, maybe you needed that to feel.

And maybe it was me who was unfeeling.

The only emotions I could

     and have ever felt

          were mostly those of others

               through others.

I'm thinking maybe I should leave you all

before I render you all to statues of unfeelingness.
