i wish you had said—
i want to be here,
even when my instincts tell me to run.
and i would have said—
then let’s build slow.

maybe then,
we would’ve held each other
without flinching.
maybe then,
we could’ve called this love
without wincing
at the sound of our own hearts breaking.

You may tire of me,
and I know,
even though I love you
and love you welll,
that it will be because
I cannot love myself enough
to tell you when it hurts.

I promise I'm trying.

Let the spotlight find its heroes.
I’ll be in the wings,
carrying the weight of moments
too small for the script
and too human to forget.

I walk the margins of the tale—
not the flame,
but maybe the quiet warmth it leaves
in the corner of a room.

No, I'm not mad or disappointed.
Not anymore.
I just... grieved you a long time ago.
I sort of hoped you would have noticed.

If you're struggling with the concept of basic empathy, I can't really help you, but, if you're someone who really just has never had to consider their own gender identity and is confused or even disturbed by the fact that some people just are transgender, I would ask that you take gender out of it.

Turns out, I've always been this way.

Look... I'm not saying JD Vance was directly involved in the death of Pope Francis. All I'm saying is that I understand how meeting JD Vance could lead someone to lose the will to live.

I had forgotten the taste of shame
until your lips told me
you were sorry
that you could never be
with someone like me.
