In the night,
I dream of you.
I dream of what we used to be.
In the night,
I think of you.
I think of the woman
I could not see.
In the night,
I love you more.
I love you more
As I once did before.
In the night,
You are a shadowy dream.
A vision of the past.
A ghost built on a well lit dream.
In the night,
You are truly gone.
Gone from me.
Gone from who we used to be.
In the night,
You are my past.
You are my ghost.
You are that vision.
That vision which was never meant to last.
Goodnight sweet ghost.
I bid you good ‘morrow.
The shadows of my past
Only now haunt me in my dreams
In the light,
I will be living for tomorrow.

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.
