The Reasons

Who knows

Who really cares

The crying alone

The waiting on stairs

Restless nights in awe

You, lover unknown

The reasons, all beyond

Eyes of wonder unshown

The loud words fail

Friend comes when still

Answers in glass bottom

No, not in air or pill

Questioning worth

as lateral climbs stall

The reasons for hearts

when no matches call

We've comes this far

No one told us why

this need's hunger grows

feeds on each sigh

Was birth a summons

from clouds of content

The reasons so varied

Our time here, well spent?
