Description
Helpless
Watching
Knowing there’s
Nothing
I can do
To help
Makes me
Feel
Helpless
I can listen
Say gentle
Things
Give useless
Advice
Empathize
Sympathize
Helplessly
I can’t
Make it go away
Vanish disappear
If I could
I would
Slay this beast
Make it
Helpless
Till then
I’ll listen
Say what
I can
Be here
To do
What I can
Helplessly

Very nice poem and image to go along with it!
All what you do is not "Helpless", to just be there and listen is much more sweetie, this is well written!
Amazing poetry Marilyn... Is everything ok? I read deeper than the words!
touching!Vey beautiful words Marilyn
In "showing your work" we see that "the trying" is very much, a part of the equation In the same vein, trying-"not trying" substitutes directly NOW factoring down we find that the trying-"not trying" brings positive conclusions with no remainders. (I want to thank my Algebra Teacher for that) She always said I would use it one day???
I sure know that feeling wonderful work warm hug, Linda
Not to worry. We have Superman to handle such matters.
Wonderful!!
Well chosen words. A close friend was just moved to a hospice house...know how you feel...but he has yet another friend closer than a brother. He'll be just fine. Bill
The heart is smart, feven if it can not always figure what to do!!!
Well written, and your image adds so much to the mood. Excellent work!
very nice choice of words to convey what you are feeling, very nice
For myself, empathy always out-weighs sympathy as one can never know just how another's pain is being felt. Very well done poem and imagery.
Beautifully written - touches a cord at a deep level.
a beautiful evocation of being someplace you can't 'not' be, even though it has real pain in it...you express yourself so well in short phrases & short poetic breaths. Maybe it's just what you feel: short packed sighs...very touching, and I truly wish you well, Marilyn. So do your other commenters, I see. And a really good image too: A heart partially dissolved but still passionately glowing. I hope for its returned wholeness in time...
If you are there to listen then you are not being helpless....compassion helps a lot!
