There Is No Reason


"I'm crying for no reason"

she told me when I asked.

I felt like I dealt treason

when I continued no further.

 

"I'm crying for no reason"

it rang through my soul.

I was much too young

to understand my goal.

 

"I'm crying for no reason"

is all that she insisted.

The truth of her pain is

what my thoughts resisted.

 

"I'm crying for no reason"

I soon began to comprehend.

But it was too late, for

she already met her end.

 

"I'm crying for no reason"

when she had every reason

to be desperately lost

in beginning of summer season.

 

"You cry for every reason"

I tell every friend

to ensure they won't, like she,

melt in a depressed end.
