Perhaps...

“Perhaps
Love isn’t the answer
Perhaps
Love isn’t enough
Perhaps
Beyond the desperation
To reconcile
Beyond the attempts
Of acceptance
Beyond the dread
Of divide
Love fails to guide
Perhaps
Love isn’t capable after all
To provide
What hate could
Perhaps
Lurking beneath
The shadow
Of identities
Germinating
Across the horizon
Of indifference
Persisting
Through the death
Unaccounted for
Through the life
Uncared for

It’s the hate
Only hate
Alas…!
