Your Pain

Your pain consumed me
in my efforts to console
Your sorrow overtook me
in my efforts to heal
Your shell surrounds me
in my efforts to free

I’ve become hollow
losing my identity
Your being became me
in my efforts to be
I became you
in my efforts to understand

I’ve become silent

I’ve lost myself
I’ve lost my contentment
I’ve lost it all
in my efforts to give
Your selflessness fled
taking me away

I’ve lost my longing
I’ve became your pain
in my efforts to take
your sorrow and loss
I’ve given my soul
for you to hold

I’ve become nothing

I now understand bliss
in my efforts to comfort
I’ve became you
now I’ve lost your pain
I gave you my love
You embraced me

We’ve become one
