I'm reminded of my poetry professor's frustrated demand, "Why is this centered on the page? Why?!?!?!" though... I never quite understood her problem with that. :p

I do wonder whether the selective capitalization is intentional or not, since it lends an interesting effect to the lines which aren't capitalized.

I'm also wondering about the italicized line in the middle. I feel like it could function as the fulcrum of the poem, but the second half doesn't seem to quite diverge from the tone of the first half enough to work for that, and I'm not sure that's really what you were trying to achieve here, so feel free to ignore my aimless speculation. :p
Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.
