Danny Derden Poet Lyric

No Reason

There ain’t no reason 
for feelin’ this way. 
There ain’t no reason 
for wantin’ to stay.

Since you lost your reason, 
seems I’ve lost mine. 
Now I’ve got no reason— 
since you lost your mind.

There ain’t no reason, 
not anymore— 
since you checked out 
and slammed that damn door…

Well, Willie really said it well 
When he wrote, “I’d have to be crazy.” 
So your mind must’ve gone to hell— 
or maybe your heart just got lazy.

As far as I can see, 
you’ve lost your reason 
for lovin’ me. 
Now I’ve lost my reason 
for bein’ me.

There ain’t no reason, 
not anymore— 
since you checked out 
and slammed that damn door…

Maybe I’ll find reason 
some day… 
down the line.

Maybe I don’t need one.
 Well… 
baby, that’s fine.

sara Etgen-Baker September 19, 2025 at 3:57 PM your poems reminds me of my husband's experience...his ex left and to this day has never given him a reason why...how torturous! Danny Derden September 19, 2025 at 4:43 PM The not knowing is usually worse...our own minds can sometimes hurt us more than the truth can. Been there.

Duke Beaufort September 19, 2025 at 3:22 PM Danny, you make me remember how difficult relationships can be....and also how frustrating. Not so easy to be in one for a long time unless you're with a good person. Danny Derden September 19, 2025 at 4:42 PM Yes sir...interpersonal relationships are rife with traps...especially when someone in the relationship is...shall we say unbalanced.
