Everyone is staring and just not caring

Of the words they sent my way

I tried to protect them

Be their good friend

And

They didn’t have my back

When the words started flying from

The haters and naysayers

They saw me holding his hand

When the crowd erupted

Yelling and telling me to go home

The first rock hit me across my temple

And I fell straight to the floor

No one offered me

A helping hand as

I lay there bleeding

My partner stood begging for your

Understanding

Instead

You threw more rocks

This time

Hitting him in each eye

Leaving him blinded

You disappoint me

So when the police came

I didn’t even hesitate

To tell the truth

And they took you away

I nearly came undone

When I later heard my partner died on the way

To the hospital

You can’t be surprised

That I could care a less about your own demise

Now I must pull myself together

To bury my love

And

Hold my head high

Then be there when asked

To put you away

There’s no way you’re getting away with

Killing this time
