She is not the woman I thought she was.
She is not the woman I thought she could be.
She is not the woman I fell in love with.
Now she is just cold and mean.
I made my peace.
I spoke kind words.
I made amends and
Said goodbye in a way which would not hurt.
She shrugged her shoulders.
She did not care.
She is now cold and mean.
There is not a trace of my Emily
Left in those blue/grey eyes
I once did love to stare.
Goodbye my blue/grey eyed girl.
Think what you will.
Everything I have ever done has been for you,
Even now when you do not care,
Even now when I know you never did,
Even now when I know you never will.

About The Artistic Poet: Cristina Marrero
- Kent Marrero
- Jacksonville, FL, United States
- I'm a Latinx, Queer/Non-Binary writer born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I transformed into Diaspora when I was transplanted onto the mainland and have lived in Florida ever since. Before coming out as Transgender, I wrote The River - The Unsung Love Story and published a book of poems initially released through Lulu.com under their birth name. Shortly after that, I took a break from writing, leaving the series unfinished. Today I continue writing under my chosen name with a focus on LGBTQ+ intersectional characters for Young Adult audiences.
Hey Cristina! Glad to see you catching the poetry bug (well, looks like you had already caught it, so I guess I mean I'm glad you're sharing it with the world). I find writing frequently in this style really keeps your mind creatively lubricated and helps make things flow even when you switch to prose.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'll definitely be back to read often.
Hey! Yeah, no idea what the heck I am doing. I just write and stuff comes out. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading, and it does keep my mind creative. I will be sure to keep reading your poetry. I really like it. =0)
