A good by poem from my straightness

I can feel you forgetting me.
The you use to be.
Am in not still a part of you.
You know what being straight does to you, but you walked in those shoes.
I hate how you're forgetting me.
The only time you remember me is in scary dreams.
I never meant to hurt you...
I know what I was doing to you wasn't what was meant to be.
You still wore me like a security.
For years I was all that others could see.
How was i supposed to know you couldn't breath hiding behind me.
I guess we're not meant to be,
But I can't just get up and leave.
Come on, please remember me.
I can see how sad I made you be.
Why do you tell people were not still connected somewhere down underneath.
You used me as much as i did the same.
You wore me like a too small pair of shoes.
There would never be enough room.
One day you realized i was toxic for you.
You said it wasn't me it was you.
So you put me in the corner of your room.
I'm still here, even though I'm not part of you.
I can see you feel happier now,
I'm sorry I never knew.
Now you wear new shoes,
they really fit you.
You look better now,
I'm sorry I was the one stopping you.
All I did was make you not feel right on the inside.
I should have known when you only called me on the phone when you were a bottle deep of rum.
I guess this is my good bye poem.
I can't wait to watch you grow.

I love you, more than you'll ever know.
