Unsuspecting Eyes
I Walk Past The Love I Used To Hold
Unsuspecting eyes meet
I ask myself,
"What is he doing here?"
next to me
Someone I cared for so deep
Standing there
mouth agape
gaze incomplete
I walk past the love I used to hold
Within his expression
emotions untold
but I push forward
eyes ahead
I have to make sense of what's in my head
His eyes scream
what lips won't speak
There's something hiding underneath
Cocoa eyes struck with grief
The things left unsaid
in the silence they scream
Confusion
studded between my ears
"Is there something he wants to say to me?"
"Is there something behind the face fear?"
He's standing so near
but I feel the absence of him here
So I walk past the love I used to hold
chin up
eyes forward
My heart sinks deep
like an anchor sinking in the sea
My emotions swell
like the tide
under the full moon's breach
I walk past the love I used to hold
he keeps his cards hidden
but this game I fold

To The Girl I used to Be
Dear seventeen-year-old me, I want to tell you how much I loved you. Now as a thirty-two-year-old trans-man, I love you more than you think people did. And believe me sweetheart, lots of people love you. Your Mom loves you so much. Grandma and Grandpa love you. Trevor loves you in his own annoying sort of way.
