So This is Where I lose You

And this is where I lose you,
My brother, my friend,
This is where it ends,
Where you question me, where I walk away without you.
This is where I tell you of my history,
And how I’m not in heart what I was born to be.
This is where I tell you how I fight and bleed,
For something you will kindly say I never need.
So this is where you lose me, my new-found companion.
Leave an empty canyon, a distancing, an awkward silence,
Then turn to go as I know you wish that I would do,
But I’m not you,
And I’m tired of running from the ones who won’t except,
Can’t egnolege my decision,
To put my body under revision,
And change from woman to man.
I will do it without you,
This was never about you,
And I knew that I would lose you from the moment it began.
