Love Killed Her

a Poem by Raquel Swann

Through barriers of trust

Outstretched, She reached

through a beautiful veil

Her fingers trembled with emotion.

Her body followed, then her mind,

And of course her heart.

She floated through clouds,

Amidst lies, deceitful smiles,

She received empty words

As true as a mirror’s reflection.

Her soul had been claimed,

Her body an empty shell.

She returned from her journey,

Different. Her eyes blank,

Her lips bare, and of course without

Her heart.

Dead, walking amongst

The living.

Love Killed Her,

Long before age

Or sickness ever could.

Who am I? Well, I’m just a trans girl trying to make my mark on the world. The most important thing to me is that all people be treated with respect and dignity. Writing is my passion and I get great satisfaction in creating art in the form of words. Any constructive feedback is welcome!
