LGBTQ+ Poem: His final day, by Tanner Squyres

I’ll meet you, I’m free all day
I’ll beg you “stay”
All the words I wish you would let me say
Wish you could believe in another way

Don’t show up to boot camp
Change your last name to mine
Hold your hand like a clamp
And tell you it’s fine

I’ll meet you on your final day
Before you’re locked away
And beg you “stay”
All the words you wished you could say
Wish I could promise another way

I’ll meet you in the sky
Watching my fan spin
Meeting the new guy
Wondering “will i ever love him?”
