Sympathy At Will
Folder:
2005 - 2006 Action based on intentions
Gone awry, the good fell fast
And away with silhouettes on the wall
Black and white now in uniform
Can’t tell the difference anymore
Just what the dark and light need
Just one more unsettled hour in between
And while dusk is in extended fade
I thought I might just sit here and watch her
As she recalls the day and what was left undone
Sympathy at will
It’s not so easily made
Leap of faith, left engraved
In the granite headstone of a grave
Some twenty or so words of a life lived
Some solid facade of a life pretend
I see her wipe tears
My fingers, hand won’t move
Closer I see bloodshot in her eyes
Red and white now in uniform
Can’t tell the difference anymore
Sympathy at will
It’s not so easily made
Leap of faith, left engraved
In the granite headstone of a grave
Some twenty or so words of a life lived
Some solid facade of a life pretend
Now I look down towards the ground
And see the grass stains on my knees
I feel her wipe my tears
Closer I see bloodshot in her eyes
A reflection now I know is mine
Sympathy at will
It’s not so easily made
Wow, not sure what to say about this one. It really struck a chord with me. In a way I feel like I've been there, and have experianced what you are trying to express.
