No Reason

Deep within my heart’s sad soul
Speaks a whisper of a voice
It speaks of love  and tattered dreams
With lonely echoes of memories gone
And short-lived hopes of becoming whole.

Nay, no fleeting hopes are born again
This heart has lost all life
A piercing pain of gloom replaces
Any expectation of happiness to win

No reason to continue
this journey filled with pain
All that can be done is ended
No hope of love nor gain.

Tis time to leave this worldly plain
and drift beyond the skies
Perhaps someone will kindly tell
Of all I loved and tried.
