No Sympathy for No Empathy
Sometimes, you think you found the right person. Then you discover how wrong you are. Here's a poem about one such person named Heather.
Sometimes, I think about a girl named Heather
whose empathy was light as a feather.
She floated along,
never landing too long.
Always with the boys
she treated as toys.
Oh, she feigned it well,
and you’d think she was swell.
But she was a dumpster fire
with a head full of disconnected wire.
Once a fool, I thought she cared.
And with my love I dared.
I saw her outer beauty,
but her inner ugly I didn’t see.
I thought she was the one,
but I was wrong by a ton.
No need to talk of the past.
Reality hit hard and fast.
She wasn’t the angel for me.
She was something that crawled from the sea.
Yes, with Heather I was wrong.
And the price I paid was long.
But a lesson I learned
has left me burned.
Heathers deserves no sympathy
For she never had empathy.
