But Because
I have no tears,
Not because I do not cry,
But because I ran out,

I have no love,
Not because no one loves me,
But because I do not love,

I have no heart,
Not because it stopped,
But because it’s be stolen,

I have no voice,
Not because I do not use it,
But because I am never heard,

I am empty,
Not because I’ve given up,
But because I tried to hard.
