A True And Tragic Story

When you came into my life I was lonely and confused
Trying to live life with a heart that's been abused
 
You were my everything for over six years
Taught me to listen to the sound of my tears
 
We don't want to hide so we told the truth to our kin
My family opened their arms and invited you in
 
Thrown out the door as your parents washed their hands
Your brothers and sisters they did not understand
 
They broke your heart, denying their own blood
Your tears ran for days, your own personal flood
 
Born this way but still they treated you like dirt
Choosing shame over love and leaving you hurt
 
We stand up for our love because it is our home
The real queers are those who leave love alone
 
No sign of the law the day we walked down the aisle
Instead it is fighting for those who live in denial
 
Fighting and rising above this world we built our place
Where our love roamed free and not tainted with disgrace
 
We lived our lives doing the world no harm
Until tragedy struck and destroyed the calm
 
I live and breathe now but I died inside
The day death took you to the other side
 
Resentment set in when I heard your mothers voice
How could anyone let you go by choice?
 
Not a single tear in her eye as I sat there and sobbed
I let her take what she wanted I'd already been robbed
 
She cleared out our bank account and took your mortal house
No regard for the wishes of a powerless spouse
 
You were soon to be buried, she agreed to let me know when
Denied my goodbye, I never heard from her again
 
I refused to surrender, went ahead and booked my flight
Your daddy warned me I would be met with a violent fight
 
Your brothers shotgun awaits if I show up on the day
Fearing for my life I had no choice but to stay
 
This would not be our story if we had the legal right to wed
The fight for gay marriage is about lives and not about bed
