When Gays Abandoned Me

This rainbow bracelet on my wrist
Brings back one reminder of how sometimes life is an illusion
A sort of a poem, to the one I had once held and kissed
We're allowed to marry now and I'm still held in self-seclusion.

I remember the days when we used to hold hands and smile
The days of when we were care-free and safe from danger
When word got out, we now had predators that were dark and vile
Who only existed to beat gays with fists and anger.

Only a few of us took a stand against these bringers of hate
Who constantly attacked us with both words and brutality
They often abused to the point of blood, mostly at me and my mate
In a high school that was "safe", where was the authority?

You got scared, fed-up, so you dumped me like last weeks trash
you chose a girl you hated, and were now often liked by our peers
I chose to stand my ground, while some gays, were gone in a flash
My skin went cold, as pride and blood fell like tears.

Today I look at you "proud" gays with something in mind
How you left me laying on the floor bruised and helpless
You are hypocrites and deserve what you get for being so blind
Why do I bother? You people are weak, cowardly, and useless...
