Last. I saw you laughing with a big, red, cup by the fire.
Last. I saw you dancing with yourself, as if you'd never tire.
Last. I saw you puking on the curb,
I pulled away, you were so absurd.
Every eye was on us, waiting for our kiss,
everybody wanted what you'd forever miss.
Last. I saw you, your eyes weren't on me
I slept in the sand, wailing sorrow out to sea.
Last, I saw you my love.
Now it's morning, you're not around.
Last, I saw you my love.
I knew your burdens, your secrets, too,
low voices say the tracks confronted you.
What does it take for man to see the depth of his soul
Is his destiny?
Disorderly, broken, nobody knows
You found no peace in the life you stole.
Last. I saw you my love.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

Sad. 😢😭
Your words convey a raw and introspective portrayal of love, loss, and the complexities of the human soul, thank you for sharing this heartfelt and thought-provoking poem.
"Last. I saw you, your eyes weren't on me I slept in the sand, wailing sorrow out to sea." These lines hit me so hard, especially wailing sorrow out to sea 😭😭😭😭 Loved your poem!
Damn, ROCK! This is one powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful poem!
The last part is good
The last part is what I can really relate to.
Oof. This one has left me at a loss for words.
After a relationship has ended, memories and grief will linger in our hearts forever.
Very passionate, Rock.
Interestingly written Feeling a bit sad about your that one 😕 but it's okay, burdens and responsibilities are the part of life
Flow in the poem inspired me.
