Sailing for Insanity

Latest you tube reading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkfF5u4vn5k&lc=Ugy159rE1Rhn_9heDv14AaABAg

I lost my best friend today.
She didn't die, well not physically.
She went away mentally and emotionally.
It's a forever vacation, she didn't even pack.
I can see it in her dead eyes,
here it in her rabid voice.
It makes my soul sick, but she's
not taking me down with her.
I stand on the placid shore and
wave good-bye, as she sails
for insanity

Feeling as you do here is a cascade of love and empathy, not always given when

'I lost my best friend today.
She didn't die, well not physically.
She went away mentally and emotionally.'

There's ever the empathy but not always the possibility to move from one mind to another. Once can only undeerstand and - wait, praying, thinking, hoping and more. Such sad, sad words, Thomas.

Thank you so much for the read and comment.

Not a pleasure to read, of course; but enormous admiration for your empathic language, Thomas.

[Thomas W Case]

I know what you mean. You are great.

Sometimes tis difficult to find the appropriate words.

Such an amazing metaphor used here. Loved it Thomas. She sails down the sea of insanity. No hope of a return.

You're most welcome my friend. Thank you for giving us such stunning poetry, always.

It is hard when there is nothing in our power we can do to help someone we deeply care about and it’s heartbreaking when they are mentally downwards spiraling
