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.
Collection of poems original released under the name Cristina Marrero before writer Kent Marrero (They/Them) came out as Genderqueer.

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.
