No Reason

Speak to me, with eyes

wetted with tears.

Emotions hidden, amidst

tinder’s of a burnt out shell.

Devoid - of - reason.

Hope circles, like a coin spinning.

Dusty reminders, of happier

carefree days.

Silence draped on bones, once

strong and magnificent.

Now just a fragment

of yesterday.
