Nothing would be left if you were gone...
There wouldn’t be enough of me,
to keep on keeping on...
I know all this, but I can’t quit...
I see the futile depths of it...
But, still...
I’m lost within a maze of dreams...
And well aware how futile this all seems...

But futile though it looks,
my heart says try...
To climb the mountains, swim the seas,
then spread my wings and fly...
I cry...I ache...and so I write...
I try to never dream at night...
I wake to find you in my mind, at dawn...
This futile love helps me to carry on...

And is it futile...or is there some chance?
That someday you will come to me,
and teach my heart to dance?
Yes, in my mind that dream repeats...
Our love is joined, our spirits meet...
and for that moment,
I can only pray...
Let love’s futility just melt away...

I know you let my being cross your mind...
The love you send back to this heart,
spans over space and time...
Although, it seems a futile bliss,
to have your love in ways like this...
I can’t let go...
It’s futile that I try...
My lips shall never say the words...
“Goodbye”

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

SunnyOne~
Hope is the stepping stone that carries us over futility.
This is a lovely, heartfelt piece of writing.

If we care for someone and they don't care for us it is a difference only the heart can settle...as our heart softens for them so must their heart soften for us...if not there is nothing left to share except the goodbye...James

We never know just what might be
If we hold back, don't try
Better to know the heartbreak
And look back with heavy sigh
Than go through life wondering
And never really knowing
What might have changed or been
If we'd risked love's showing.

Marge is right... hope is what sees us through wondering if our efforts are futile... and there is no gain with no risk. *S* Well done!

Such and endearing write. I felt the hope, the pain and a small tear. It is difficult to love one that is away from us. Love is such an action word. May blessings flow.
