2500
As she held my hand
We made plans
Of a happily ever after with a home and a few kids
And although hopeful we always saw exactly what the world was I mean is
she held my hand as if I were the woman and she were the man
She took care of me
And was all I wanted her to be
I lover her still
And as the songs go I always will
So our dream took off with one issue
I became pregnant bearing our first child
She wanted to name him David I preferred Miles
We were so happily in love
And had no better things to think of
So she held my hand
When we had to take a stand
To let it be known that ours was a love that couldn't be disbanded because of a few evil glares
And we stayed where we lived in spite of the stares
She was strong body soul and mind
A person to love like her was hard to find
She kept holding my hand
As we had to understand
That our sond first school didn't want "our kind" as parents to their students
She laughed it off as we moved, and me pregnant again calling them ignorant and stupid
We stayed ever loving as our sweet baby girl was born
And then neither of us could fathom that soon my heart would be ripped apart and torn
So she held my hand
As if she were my man
Because our relationship was accepted in our new living space
They understood that they couldn't make us replace... what we had
Or so we thought
So she my loving caring beqautiful woman went out one night
Little did i know that she would be in a fight
Over us over me
Over our sweet little family
She stood up for us like she always did
But this time she didn't win
I ws at home playing house wife
When she went out that night
It grew later
It grew darker
And I was none the smarter
I got worried and I called
And shortly realized her phone was off
I wondered and I worried
And I hoped it would be an unfounded story
So I asked a neighbor to watch the ones while I searched for my lover
And soon after my phone rang... it was her
She sounded so strange so unlike herself
And all I wanted to do was find my love and nothing else
I found her... and it was so bad the car was a wreck
The windows were busted and the paint chipped and graffitied
It said "Gays go home" and "Lesbos not welcome"
All I could think was how come
I then saw her spraled and horribly beaten
I sat down at her feet and... I cried
She heard me and told me to stop I screamed why?
I called the ambulance
And we waited for them for 10 minutes with ever uneased patience
I rode with her all the way to the hospital and the funny thing is
That she was holding my hand still as if
I were the woman and she were the man
All the while trying to make me understand
That she would be alright
But I knew she wouldn't be so I again began to cry
And I've still cried these tears
AndI've cried them for all these years
Since she told me she'd be alright
She knew she wouldn't and she let go of my hand for the first time ever that night.
