Never a Reason
As if this was all by chance
And not so much a cosmic joke
All that will be began it's dance
All else just a thought unspoke
Time drags forever on it seems
An illusion made believe is so
Nightmares once thought as dreams
Alas like much we think we know
A fading glow from a dying flame
This imprisonment of living life
But in the end a forgotten name
You'll be as dust and so will I
Scattered ashes in a perfect storm
Not worth mention if ever asked
Just killing time if ever born
If a joke who's laughing last?
Never a care yet running blind
Not a glance before the leap
No risk so bold was ever kind
To spare a soul never yours to keep
Wasting time till your time is up
I was so blind yet now I see
No lesson learned ever mattered much
While having never a reason to be
