Where Lie The Answers?

For those with questions and no answers

What is hope without hopelessness?
Love without hate?
There is a balance
‘but’
I feel no balance
The love has been tossed aside
The hope has been rent asunder
Hopelessness is an understatement
And hate a vague miscommunication
What I feel is sadness
It is a pain that no one can cure
‘or’
That no one would care to cure
It is a throbbing in my chest
A heart being beaten
‘or’
A beating heart?
All I have are questions
And no answers
Do you hold the answers?
I dare say not
For there is one last question I must ask
'but'
There is time enough for that
In another poem
'or'
 
Maybe there isn’t.
