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 1/8/09

All what you do is not "Helpless", to just be there and listen is much more sweetie, this is well written!

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???

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

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.

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...
