Hold My Hand

 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.
