Deep-seated are the feelings that scratch at the surface of her heart
Churning for a love that has forever been ignored
Shunned by a society of ignorance forewarned
Piercing are the screeches of her sorrow
Empty are the souls of those who shame her
They know not of love
Only sheer complacency
Which in the end will be their undoing
For their hearts will remain cold and empty
As they struggle to find a single companion
There is no longer empathy for their shameful intolerance
They shall be cast aside to the unknown
Only to return when ignorance is no more
