nothing left to say

there are
no words i can sing
that can
correctly express
how i cannot feel right now.

This emptiness
is full and complete
but can not compete
with my sludge filled head
which is so,
to block you out.

there are
no words
to explain,
how hostility hurts hope,
or how hurt hope
promotes hostility.

The ability to be
unable to feel
becomes a technique of survival
when your hostility
hurts my hope
and makes me hostile.

to be hostile
you have to hate
the only thing left
when their is only hate
is death,
so i would rather be numb
than hate like you.
