Best Sympathetic Poems


Sympathetic
We volley with sketchy returns
each moment of empathy mirrored
in cough or laugh,
toothy smile or nod
to prod hundreds of
muscles in chase,
scrambling for that
elusive reciprocal
that binds us in effort,

a hiccup of reactive
responses contrary
to conscience or will
to fill yawning mendacity
while locking journeys
in mutual discord
behind the mask
of ordinary compassion
banishing...

Ribcage - Unapologetic Or Sympathetic - Chapter 3
Subsiding from the morning’s light,
I can’t see the hopes of Tomorrow
I am dealing with stress on a high level, but I’ll stay with you tonight
And wrap you up with adorned glory and put out the fire of sorrow,
Giving us (a heavy load of dread…)x2
I dropped...

Sympathetic Homage
They come from a country in Eastern Europe...
dreaming of freedom, reviving their faint hope;
I'm quickly learning to speak their language,
to understand them and offer courage....

Premium Member Sympathetic Shoulder
Seeking safe waters to harbor my thoughts,
I found a confidant that calms my soul.
Despite the deafening sound of silence,
I heard your voice above the rigmarole.

Supplying comfort and companionship,
you move me by the depth of your concern.
And acting like my guardian angel,
you salvage kindled dreams before...

Sympathetic Sorrow
Thoughts of remorse fill my heart with doubt
about the path or situation I put myself in
Jealousy peaks at its highest point from the dishonesty I hold within
I get heartaches by thinking I can hide under a grin
though my paranoia dosen't subside 
It thrives from my...

Sympathetic Apologetic
Why should I be sympathetic apologetic
life eats at you if you let it
never forget it
forget where you came
sick of this mumble rap its hella lame
so what can you proclaim
displace
why should I listen if you have no taste
semidetached keep the lock on your mouth latched
one to...

Sweet Sympathetic Sleep
Sweet sympathetic sleep,
she will hold me while I weep.
To no one else she speaks,
in her arms I go weak.
She whispers in my ear 
and tells me things I wish to hear.
Temptation always lurks,
and existing always hurts.
When my final dawn breaks,
when the pain leaves me awake,
sweet...

Sympathetic Raindrops
Some days are meant to be rainy
   Some days we need to hide
Just to sort so many things
   We’re feeling deep inside

Some days are meant to be rainy
   It’s on those days that I’ve cried
Trying to understand the truth

Sympathetic Ink
You, a glass tear - filled with black oil
to stain, to rearrange each thought
contained in your metal nib
Scratch, scratch the pompous paper
and tend to wounds afterwards
The thoughts must come!
Must flow!
And yet you sit.
Still. A night with no moon
encased in clear horizons.
Do you wait for me...

Dear Heart
Dear heart, I know I let the world hurt you,
I let them use you,
I let them use you as a hotel
I know it hurts, I know it breaks you 
I know now you can't be fixed by sympathetic words.
I know now you feel insecure about...
