Christopher Tapp

“writing about you after you’ve left is a bittersweet release. it’s a lump in the throat type of writing. leaving my bones crushed in ink. these are long lost cousins to the love poems that once carried your name. with every syllable. my journals bleed the words that wrote the story of us. each locked diary has hidden their key from me. they cannot stand any more plot twists to the folk tale about the lonely prince. our guards are up. and my gut is whispering. it is okay to put down the pen. take a deep breath. and rest.”

“you are not doing
god’s work
when you break
apart my love”
― christopher tapp, May I Wear Your Crown

“i am sorry
to the gay kid
i laughed at
at christian camp
before i knew
i’m gay too
i’m sorry that i
split your world
right in half
so i could
form my own
i’m sorry i
made you feel
like you were
a sin

you are not a sin”
― christopher tapp, May I Wear Your Crown

“thank you for loving me
as long as you could have

i know it wasn’t easy”
― christopher tapp, May I Wear Your Crown
