Accusations

She stares at me with a loving eye

You are a wonderful man
This makes me sigh

The best man I ever known
I let it go by

The most amazing stepfather
I needed to try

I don't think I could make it unless I had you
I am not going to cry

I am so happy I married you
Its all been a lie

I know you'll never hurt me
I can't shame her I must die

We will be together forever
All that's left is to say goodbye

Who knew...

...one trans-mans cure is another trans-woman's poison? If I read this correctly, it's Jenn who has to die in order for them both to live together? If I'm wrong, please delete this. I screamed at the top of my lungs today when I drove to my nephew's home to pick up my son; feeling very hopeless and sad. But hope still reigns eternal, I must believe.

Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later,
and then you still have to decide what to do. ― C.S. Lewis

Ouch! Painful!

If I'm interpreting it right.

Line 1: Jenn's wife
Line 2: Jenn's reaction

I take this from my own life and how I feel when my wife say's nice things to me, and how I react, silently, of course, though she does know about me. I told her before marriage...

Ole

We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!

Gender rights are the new civil rights!

Think you got it right, Ole

What a mighty internal struggle, Jenn. I'm praying for a happy resolution for your struggle. I think that you think a happy resolution is impossible. Well, heck, that's what prayers are for - impossible things that we can't do on our own, so we ask a Higher Power.

Love ALWAYS - **Sigh**

Accusations?

.

So what the wife is thinking of as praise stings our narrator like accusations? OUCH!
Powerful poem. And if I was still writing these days it would probably be just as grim.
Have you considered maybe italicizing the reaction lines?
That might make things a bit clearer to obtuse dolts
like me who it took a few readings to figure it out.

~For what they're worth HUGS!!!!!! Veronica, your sister in despair :)

Done.

Thanks for pointing it out. Jenn.

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Jenn C's Poem 'Accusations' is fixed

The response lines were not offset. That has been corrected with the lines being italicized.

This was done at Jenn C's request.

HUGE Hugs

This was so moving. while im not in that situation, I am very close to my immediate family, part of my coping with some issues from childhood, I never found a person who wanted me as I wanted them. I can totally understand these reactions as I received similar except it was "uncle" or "Brother" or "Son". The love from and for a family is one of life's cruelest forms of imprisonment; it is escapable, but the cost COULD be so high, good people fear to pay it.

again, your big heart and understanding and the ability to express it in short forms is a great gift, keep it up. While some of your stories are very sad, they ALL are very moving and very pointed to the people here.
