Your Sympathy (1000 Words Challenge)

There a lot of songs that have resonated with me.  One of those songs is 'Your Sympathy (27 Days)' by Laura Higgins.  I don't know why it hits me like it does but there is just something about it that clicks with me.  I understand it on a deep level and I respond to it in a way that is not really describable.  That is why I chose the song for my 'A Picture's Worth 1000 Words' challenge.

So what did I do?  I set up a scene and I called my friend Akemo over to pose with me.

Enjoy!  (And ignore that the music video is anime if it's not your cup of tea because she doesn't have an official music video.)

Your Sympathy - Laura Higgins

Sitting in this chair, I watch you read and twirl your hair

as if you know how much it hurts me every time.
You bring me soup and crooked smiles,
but always with advice why I should find a brighter side or bluer sky.

And when you walk away, I don't forgive you for the fault.
And if you sit and stay, it makes me angry when you talk.
I've still got 27 days and zero patience here to be your sympathy.

Our extended family, the cousins that I barely see,
send cards to wish me better days ahead.
And all of this attention, though I know they've good intentions,
leaves a bitter taste of metal in my head.

So if you want to help me, then just watch from where you are.
Don't tell me I'll be fine. Don't tell your friends you think I'm stronger than I am.

I've still got 27 days until I'm free from your sympathy.

And when I look in the mirror, I see a stranger staring me down.
A woman in armor,
I can't fight any harder when the room spins 'round and 'round and 'round.

And when you walk away,
I don't forgive you for the fault.
And if you sit and stay, it makes me angry when you talk.
I've still got 27 days and zero patience here to be your sympathy.

Your sympathy

Clock says 3 am.
I wonder if I'll ever sleep again or dream... 

(Ignore the anime and just listen!)
