Sympathy's Symphony

A poem written about looking in on someone you care for who's diving deeper and deeper into self destructive behavior, and being unable to stop it (specifically self-mutilation).

Bear me no sympathy to misery's sad destructive symphony,
The sad strings that are being played are slowly killing me,
Notes that hammer and strike a chord deep inside,
You wouldn't beleive the way my instruments cry.

Bleed into tremelo, these endless teardrop chords,
Lyrics and verses commited to these endless words,
Notes that hammer and strike into my fucked head,
You wouldn't believe these tears my eyes shed.

Bear me no sympathy to misery's sad destructive symphony,
These sad vibes that this soul has been feeling,
Notes that hammer and strike a chord deep inside,
The fear of how near I was to when the music died.

Bleed into me, when will it end, this symphony?
Lyrics and verses that plague my wandering mind,
Notes that hammer and strike at the borderline,
You wouldn't believe the way my heart cries.

An addiction to self-mutilation is very, very sad and painful.... see many forms of this with others.. hopefully the person gets help and pulls through.. this one is more powerful than the last writing.. I sense strength and weakness in the writing.. a mix and well this is how we feel when we care for someone struggling in these boundaries! Thank you for sharing once more!
