Try to tear the words from my lungs,
I have nothing to say.
Claw the flesh from my ribs
and find my chest empty.
Eyes the non color of rain drops
that give you nothing to grasp.
Come to me seeking nourishment
salvation from a ghost is not forthcoming.
I hate you for the helplessness you foster
the mute hunger of the drowning woman.
Go from me and forget my name
I have nothing else for you.
