Empathic

   

I wouldn't flatter myself into thinking that

   I could feel another's emotions

Though occasionally, while moving well apace

   through my own existence, I am struck by

   a deep sadness as his face flashes across

   the screen behind my eyes

The sorrow slides over into despair and I am

   cautioned to withdraw by the admonition

   that there is nothing that can be done  

I let it go, a mystery to be solved at a later date

   or perhaps another lifetime
