To Love an Empath

is no easy feat.

She seems to feel too deeply

She seems to be too delicate

You will feel a call to protect her

To shield her

To fix her

But friend, she is not broken.

To love an Empath

You must love

All of her.

The tears she sheds

You’ll want to wipe them away,

but she’ll promise you they are her war paint

The scars she bears

You’ll want to heal them

but she’ll tell you they are tattooed reminders

of her resilience

The hands she extends

You’ll want to lighten their load

but she’ll insist

the weight is only making her stronger

The rapid beat of her heart

You’ll want to steady it, quiet it

but she’ll begin to dance away

drumming her feet to the sound of her battle song.

And even the pain, the sadness, the fear,

You’d do anything to quell,

She’ll whisper to you

that she’d rather feel this…

than be numb to the world’s suffering.

To love an Empath

You must acknowledge her feelings

Offer her space to mourn, to rage, to hope, to love

You must believe in her calling

even when you don’t hear it

Her passion is not a choice

It is her nature… her Wild.

Yes, to love an Empath is not easy

But the love she’ll offer in return

is one like no other.

To love an Empath

You must love

all of her ♥️
