In all sincerity
It is a pathetic pity 
I merely offer sympathy
With such velocity
This sadness born out of the blue
That decides to levy itself on you

In your fixed stillness
I sense your illness
Accept my sympathy

You lost a pet
Somebody made you upset 
Accept my sympathy

You lost a friend 
Your broken heart is yet to mend
Accept my sympathy
