futility 20000414
  by dan mccormack

i stand with her in chaos
but find myself at peace
amidst the violent struggles
here i can find release

but not all is ideal
in this idyllic world
and out on the horizon
a rage becomes unfurled

i see the arrows flying
directly at her soul
but i must stand by helpless
in a world i can't control

i cry out as i watch them
plunge deep into her heart
powerless to stop them
useless from the start

and still, they just keep coming
and she cries out in pain
and still, i'm bound and impotent
it's driving me insane

i cannot stand to watch her
be tortured from above
when she deserves nothing less
than happiness and love
