Every horror
Carries a little knife
That stabs
A scalpel of understanding peeling back each layer.
Empathy can travel only so far
real searing pain starts from within
sealing with obsessive omniscience
any hope of avoidance of hurt
Only those who truly experience
Can know .
But
what does that mean for the truly empathetic
who feel sick from the smell of singed hair
the recoil of a mere witness
sensing burned fingertips ?
