Scenario #29 by Nada Mir - Why does your pain hurt me?

If you've died, I've felt myself die.
And if you've not, it still hurts here,
Ripped off into shreds,
And this heart beats me,
Harder than your words,
But when I see you hurt,
When I see you cry,
I'm bound to the corners of darkness,
Sitting alone, with all of my pain,
All of your pain that I make mine.
Oh darling, why does it hurt me?
When you stand so far, and I can see you hurt?
I'm ripped into shreds, into pieces.
There's no beauty in this life.
And I've never let anything reach out to me,
But why does it hurt so much?
When I see you, crying there in pain,
It beats my heart,
It hurts more than being alone,
In this darkness, my pain stings,
Your pain that hurts me.

I'll walk to you, when your sorrows rain here,
In this town, I'll walk every road,
Holding your hand, we'll take steps.
Together, they can brush off on me,
And your tears and wet my curls,
And for every streak of sunshine,
I'll watch you smile, and I'll fell myself glow,
Like your sorrow and your pain,
How it beats and breaks my heart,
When I see you smile,
You bring life to me,
You bring peace, bring my pieces back.
In the morning light, we'll glide and dance,
All over this town,
Picking up pieces of our pain.
We've felt it together,
Holding your hand, I've been through it.
Your pain that hurts me.

Why does it hurt watching someone hurt?
