Futility

I know you’re out there,
I can feel your pain, so
Into a thousand miles of darkness
My spirit soars…

A hawk … hunting
An eagle … searching
Pegasus on a quest
For the heart that is breaking

And once found, what then?

I pound like a butterfly on the walls
Of the shell you’ve made your prison
My cries are all in vain
Echoing faintly back to mock me

For Heaven knows I am powerless
To save you from yourself
The quest must end in sadness
As I watch your soul disappear.
