I miss the flame that sparked In my heart the second I saw your face

and the endless nights you were constantly on my mind

but maybe loving you was the best thing that ever happened to me

because even though it ended up bad

but for some reason my heart can’t stop loving you

You have no idea the amount pain you put me through.

I’ve cried for hours in my small bed rubbing my hands over my chest to sooth the pain.

However this is the type of pain cannot be consoled

No matter how hard I try, it’s still there. always haunting me, drowning me, it won’t go away

I hurt my own heart so much from trying to hard to comfort it

yet after all of this, you don’t even know the pain you put me though

how I wished you were dead

or that you would break his heart for mine

Is stand up and say,

“I’m gay.”

And for the sake of today,

Don’t make me say it softer

Like I should be ashamed.

 I want to say that I’m gay

Without having to say,

“I’m sorry.”

Without you telling me,

“Look at the Bible, see?

It says this is wrong,

But I’m still your friend,

So these laws I will bend”

I am tired, of “Hate the sin,

Love the sinner.”

 I’m sitting in class,

Talking, chatting,

And you ask me,

“Who do you like?”

I go red in the face and you ask,

“Who is he?”

But “he” is a “she”

And I sit there and say,

“No one.”

Because how could I tell you,

When you say “Ew” every time

There’s a man and a man, holding hands,

When you say,

“I don’t believe in that,”

Like it’s some kind of religion.

Like YOU have a right to an opinion.

 I want to say that I’m gay

Without speeches

Behind my back,

Like I’m something to gawk at.

 You say you’d rather dress in the toilets

Instead of the bathroom,  

Because I’m gay,

And you think I’ve no respect,

You think I would look at you

Like men do,

Like you’re some kind of object,

Like the only thing I want to do is fuck your brains out,

But to be honest, girl,

 I just wanna get dressed.

Please just let me get dressed.
