I WISH

I wish I couldn't hear you crying
But I do
​​​​​​All the time
Everywhere
Beseeching and helpless
As helpless as me
I wish I didn't see it happening
But I do
Vividly
All the time
Everywhere
In my sight just out of view
I wish I didn't care
But I do
Passionately
All the time
Everywhere
I care because we don't
Never have
And never will
And I can't change that
I wish I didn't feel your suffering
But I do
All the time
Everywhere 
An infinity of hurting eyes
Because we don't see the truth of you
Never have
And never will
I wish I didn't see you in my dreams
​​​​​​The beating hearts of you
In fur 
In feathers
In skin
In scales
In love
Because I am tormented
As you are tormented
All the time
Everywhere
And I cannot smile
Anymore
Anytime
Anywhere.

EACH LIFE AS UNIQUE AND PRECIOUS AS OUR OWN
THEY THINK
THEY FEEL
THEY HURT
THEY DIE
MOSTLY BY OUR HANDS
BE KIND ❤️
