It's always why.
There's always a reason.
It was what I've been taught.
There's a reason for the dust,
There's a reason for the dirt.
There's a reason for school,
There's a reason for earth.
There's a reason that I'm here,
There's a reason that I exist.
There's a reason that I don't live,
There's a reason that I linger as a ghost.
There's a reason you once loved me,
There's a reason you pretended.
There's a reason you teared me,
There's a reason you killed me.
There's always a reason, but the question goes on.
Why, dear?
Why, love?
Why, nemesis?
Why, stranger?
Why?
