“Lose You” Trans Poetry on Loss, Healing, and Moving Forward

“Lose You”

Original Poem by: Axton N.O. Mitchell

They didn’t lose you, 
they left you, and that’s 
a fact of life you will have to learn 
to sit with multiple times over your years.

I am sure you will cry plenty of tears,
for all the time lost and loyalties 
left crossed. Pick yourself up 
and dust your knees back off. 
There will always be more people 
to see.

🖤I’d love your honest take on this piece.
