A bit of sympathy aug 2012

  

she tells me not to move

 or I might sink even faster

 into the muck that

makes up my life

already neck deep and sinking

with nothing to grab hold on to

accept the illusion of helping hands

 she feels sorry for me even

 as she feels Superior

 a world war two general

who has just won a battle

 and takes pity on those

who still litter the battlefield

such as me

not mocking

not this time

just sympathetic

telling me to cease the hostility

since I have already lost the war

 and a matter of when rather than if

the muck rising to the point

 where I finally drown

and still I struggle

knowing at the heart she is right

when she can't see

I just can't give up
