Never knowing


a song I wrote

I got called a girl the other day,
from someone who I thought would understand
she has a trans boyfriend and I really hope that's her man
you know it's kind of funny people still think it's a joke
I'm going on three years now and I have a little hope
so I'll just stay in the closet over here all by myself
you know it's kind of lonely I wish I had some help
but I live in Vermont and yeah it's pretty cool
people make fun of me at school
so I always act like a fool
but maybe one day I'll be called Kaidin and that day I'll be at ease
but until then call me my dead name pretty pretty please

  • obsessed

    you were obsessed with the taste of my lips
    you loved the smell of my perfume
    you said my eyes were beautiful

    when you left

    i wanted to cut off my lips and give them to you
    i wanted to give you my perfume
  • your view

    you tell me the view is beautiful
    you never want to leave
    you tell me that I would love it

    my shoulders still have bruises
    you used my body as a ladder
    climbing farther and father
    I couldn’t see you anymore
  • earthly pleasures

    maybe one day I will walk the earth again
    bare feet, the mud between my toes
    maybe one day I'll hold your hand again
    pulling you close to me
    maybe one day I will see your face again
    the one who taught me about love
