You're bringing me down.
I know you don't mean to.
You're bringing me down.
Your words do it too.
You're bringing me down.
Please, don't say your, "aw"s
You're bringing me down
Like showing a scared kid
A chucky clown doll.
I try to forget
Her face and her eyes.
Engraved in my head.
I try to survive.
You're bringing me down.
Just don't mention her name.
You're bringing me down.
Just don't bring her to my brain.
You're bringing me down.
I know you don't mean to.
Her lips and that smile.
Don't remind me,
That's how I make it through.

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.
