Grotesque protest

Who cares about tenderness
When everything turns
So quickly to hatred
And then bitter silence
Over words not thoughts
And ideas not actions
Unkind moments
Grotesque protests
Over things
Things we don't understand
In the others
Where we sail
Into the unknown
Unknowable
Dreams inside
Keep us apart
Leaving our hearts
Cold and cyanide
Towards the other
The sins smother
Every hope I have
Of knowing why
I go on
Without you
By my side
