"Sympathy for the Sick"

a poem by William Lorentz - copyright 1998


Secret Savior
show yourself to me.
You disrupt my world.
You steal all I need.
My fair lover
stripped from my embrace
ushered from my sight
but I won't be disgraced.

(so) I salute myself
owner of my pain
author of my thoughts
ruler of my world

Misery
Can't conceive
a remedy
for how I'm breaking
Sympathy
can't relieve
any of
the things I'm feeling

I salute myself
owner of my pain
author of my thoughts
the ruler of my world.
