Sometimes things happen for no paticular reason, just 'because'

She was staring into space
focusing on nothing at all


I asked her why
She said because

Her eyes were filled with tears
Which trickled down her cheeks

I asked her why
She said because

Her brow was heavy with sadness
Her face etched with sorrow
 
I asked her why
She said because
 
She knew that I was leaving
She knew it broke my heart
 
She asked me why
I said because

Featured Review

A very neat and succint poem; I think everyone can relate to the answer of "because" =). As such, it's very powerful to combine such sad imagery with the simple reason "because"; the word is so charged with extra meaning that everyone can draw further interpretations out of it. And the conclusion links that concept back to create a very neat, thoughtful ending to the piece. It's probably a little simple (in terms of structure and wordplay, not depth or thoughtfulness) for my personal taste, but that is also its' strength as well =).
