Why does my lost cause
Consume me so?
This pointless chase
This useless quest?
His eyes unveil what’s more to me
Than water’s depth
And air
But still I stare
This hopeless stare
I pose
And try and fail
And this worthless hunt
My fruitless stalk
Remains rooted and unveiled
Remains cold and unacknowledged
Like bridges long since fallen
Like passions
Long since stolen
Adversity to bargain with
For this I’ll fight the odds
Because I love
I need to save
My beautiful lost cause
