The Question, Unanswered Poem by Dakota Ellerton

The Question, Unanswered



Like father and son
you and I were close
though I was born a woman
something not chosen, I suppose

I’m sorry I was not the son you wanted
or either of the sons you had
I’m glad you loved me anyways
I was your daughter, and you my dad

Growing up I cared not about my looks
long hair and overalls
rather shy,
and rather tall

If I had told you
that I was gay
would you have loved me
in the same way?

I’ll never know
now your gone
that’s the end
it’s all said and done

why could I not speak
when there was time
I’d not really realized
who I was inside

I didn’t know just what I wanted
or who I had in mind
gender didn’t matter
as long as they were kind

now I can’t stand
the touch of a man
women are for me
that’s not hard to see

the thought of you never knowing
breaks my heart in two
I wonder if I had said it
you would have said “either way I love you”
